Speaking outside the back of a Basque sheep wagon outside the Basque block on Friday evening, Dave Boling presented “Guernica”, his first work of fiction.
Friday’s dinner had a sole purpose, to honor Pete Cenarrusa, founder of the Cenarrusa Foundation, for his work to promote the Basque culture and language.
In the next weeks we will see Dave Boling, author of “Guernica” at the Basque market, the registration of new dancers at Boiseko Gazteak, pala and mus tournaments, the Mortzila dinner, and many more events to come.
The event, held outside on the Basque Block in a setting that includes sheep wagons, campfires and outside cooking, will include music, cocktails, raffles and a pelota exhibition in the fronton.

John Cortabitarte, Annie and Alaina Gavica, three US students of Basque heritage, decided to come to the Basque Country for a few weeks to study the language of their ancestors. It is hard but it is worthy, they say.
