A gray autumn weekend yields some bright surprises with our visit to the 100th Comice Agricole event in Allemans-du-Dropt. Five years ago we lived in this small village in the Lot-et-Garonne department for six months and we never saw so many people and cars in town. The Tourism Office representative explains to us that the great turnout is due to the event's centennial.

A comice agricole is an event organized by local farmers to exchange ideas and experiences, as well as to strut their stuff for the public. Animals, farm equipment, local foods and music are typical of such events. This weekend's event included a dinner and fireworks on Saturday night along with the exposition on Sunday.
