On May 3rd we had our 6th Annual Fiesta Universal with Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber. It's like a Cinco De Mayo but it's a celebration of all Latin heritage. Proceeds from Fiesta Universal go toward college scholarships for CISD Hispanic seniors. Both Congressman Kevin Brady & Superintent Dr. Stockton were there to present certificates to the seniors.
There were tons of FREE things to do...especially for the kids. But the funniest thing all day was the flauta eating contest. Here is MCHC Prez Mario trying to keep up with the two that tied for 1st place.
The Hispanic Chamber has no ethnic or language criteria. There is no requirement of Hispanic or Latin origin or ownership to be a part of, or be involved with, the Hispanic Chamber. In fact, membership is open to individuals of all races and ethnic backgrounds. Like me, I've been a sponsor the last two years and I'm the official photographer for the group (and I'm still unable to even say "where is the bathroom" in spanish!) Want to learn more about MCHC?
