On Thursday the Mexican-American community celebrated El Grito de Idependencia, at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The event was free and open to the entire community. Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the food, music and dance of Mexico. Just as the event was getting in full swing, it was deluged by a huge downpour around 5:30 P.M. Fortunately, the skies cleared and everything got back to normal. This was a fun event and I hope it becomes an annual classic on the Square. If it’s back next year, I certainly will make every effort to be there. Viva Mexico!
