TEMA

PARTECIPANTS

Participation is free, and everybody is welcome, regardless of age (parents’ permission and a guardian are required, in case there are participants younger than 18).

Second and third places will be awarded a basket of typical Artenese local products.

The first place, which came from the greatest number of “likes” obtained online by 12:00 p.m. on August 24, 2013 will be awarded a mule-trekking excursion in Artena for two people.
