OUR PERSONAL ESPERIENCE IN THE STAND:
The experience of being on the stand has been very rewarding because we were able to talk to people and tell them our experience in college and inform them of our degree, which because it is new, is less known that the most common.

The fair usually bring new and interesting knowledge , we met new species of birds that we`ve
never seen, new natural areas,and campgrounds new, we wanted to know!
Besides the celebrated spot where F.I.O is a place worth seeing because it is natural, beautiful and unusual.
