Hispanic Festival
















I got a pass from my wife on Saturday and went downtown to the Hispanic Festival. The weather was beautiful, the empanadas were excellent and the Pacifico was cold. Many Central and South American countries were represented. I enjoyed the dance demonstrations that were put on. An enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

    I really enjoyed the festival. I was only there for about an hour but i must say it was an hour well spent. I was very suprised at how many places there were to get food. I was also amazed at how many dancers and demonstrations were put on for the hour i was there. it was non stop dancing. The number of vendors and the amount of sub nationalities was quite fascinating as well.
