Is it true that the gate admission is $5.00?

The poster on their Facebook page says $5 cover charge for Friday for a scholarship fund.  There will be a $2 cover charge for Sat & Sun.

Thanks for clarifying the admission fee.

I attended a festival in Lansingville this past weekend.  There was no admission charge; but if you purchased $10 in food tickets, you were issued a wrist band that allowed you to enter the entertainment tent.

I didn't know that wrestling was part of the Spanish culture.

I take it that you don't watch professional Wrestling ... WWF ... Smack Down ... etc. Wrestling is very popular south of  the border ... as popular as it is here in the States.
