For being one it and co-ordinated by the association of feirantes practises cultural regional, the fair of Major Prates keeps its permanence the twenty and five years, without aid governmental, that takes care of of all organizacional structure. A member of the association says: In 1985 one appears the fair of Major Prates getting numbers considerable of feirante, having the necessity to expand the fair. In 2005 association of feirantes is created that it searchs for improvements in the same one and takes care of of all organization opening chances to that they desire to commercialize. The Association has conscience of the commercial importance, therefore the fair contributes with the economy of familiar agriculture and also with it practises cultural regional. But this commercialization is a reality and a necessity for the agricultural families, therefore the ones that they get as profit helps in the familiar expenditure, complementing the income together with the governmental benefit (stock market family).
