After the visit to Río Tercero, - and before returning to Villa María, - the Wits Choir stopped in Almada Colony where an Agricultural Exposition was being held and thereafter in Oncativo to perform and have dinner with the Municipal Authorities.

Some time after four in the afternoon, the Mayor of Oncativo Osvaldo Bottero and the Director of the Municipal Kindergarden Dora were waiting for the choir to arrive in Almada Colony and join them during the visit to the most important Agricultural Exposition in the area.

There, the Municipality of Oncativo sponsored a tent with stands from local industries and municipal information. The Wits Choir sung a few songs outside the tent before getting some free time to walk around the Expo area.

After heving some "churros with dulce de leche" and hot chocolate, everyone was back in the bus to continue the journey to Oncativo. The arrival was at the Victoria Theatre for the sound check and then they were all transfered to the Municipal Kindergarden to have time to relax, enjoy an early dinner and rehersals. It was a nice afternoon - evening and a good moment for the former "Dukes" to make a special performance; - Jeffrey Webster and Robert Selmer-Olsen on a GAP exhange program, and, Samora Ntsebeza and hugh Lobban now with the Wits Choir.

When the concert time was getting close, they all went back to the Victoria Theatre to finalize the last details and make a great show, deeply enjoyed by all. As usual the audience appreciated the excellent in music performed by the South African Choir and thanked them with "escarapelas" (symbol of the Argentine flag) and a bunch of flowers to the choir Director, Dalene.

From the stage they walked straight through the audience and onto the bus that took them back to Villa María for their last night there. [tableend] Not in any table!
