Made in Ilocos

It is the time of the year again where a mixture of sounds, smell, and sight are different in Vigan. Beside the Ilocos Sur Capitol you can see crowds of people at the trade fair. It is time for Kannawidan, a festival for all Ilocanos and a must see tourist attraction. It is a time to showcase Ilocano’s unique talents to everyone, everything that makes Ylocos proud.

Kannawidan is a time for all the products of Ilocos Sur to come together in Vigan where they will be presented and sold. It gives an opportunity to all these places to show their talents, products that make them unique from the other places. People compete on friendly contests to show their talents, to not only improve one’s self but also give way to friendship. It is an event where all the provinces and cities of Ilocos Sur are all in one place; it will make you feel like you toured around Ilocos Sur without even paying for much fare. Kannawidan is a mixture of everything which showcases not only the unique talents of Ilocanos but also their culture and traditions. It will make you feel one with Ilocos Sur. Just being there, you will feel its warm welcome.

The event brings great joy to everyone, as it continues to entertain you with the different provinces’ and cities’ native treasures. It is a must see event and worth coming back for. As the years progress the creativity of Ilocanos improve to great heights so you can never guess what to expect. Kannawidan is anything but boring for with every turn something will always catch your eye.

  2. On your post, I read 'Vigan Capitol' and I guess it should be replaced with Ilocos Sur Capitol. Municipality/Town/City is to hall as province is to capitol. And the word 'continuous' on the first sentence of the last paragraph isn't right. That is an adj.
    Anyway, I like the flow of your post. The sentences are arranged well and you do have a great writing skill. =))
