On Saturday, December 3, the Los Fresnos Chamber of Commerce organized its annual Christmas parade and festival. The event was enjoyed by many and brought together the City, organizations like HOSA and Communities in Schools, Boys & Girls club, local businesses, Rodeo, and more.
At the end of the parade and during the Christmas Festival celebration, the Mayor, Alejandro Flores, handed out trophies to the first, second, and third-place winners with respect to their category. They had contestants for four categories: the best floats, the best band, the best Drill Team or Dancers, and even parade horses. The winners were announced and given trophies that evening at Memorial Park.
The Festival, as mentioned, was at Memorial park and had Live music by The Texas Showdown band, an obstacle course, a train ride, a bouncer, a rock climbing wall, and some fun things from individual’s booths.
The entire Christmas parade & festival is a great endeavor that Val Champion, the Los Fresnos Chamber Director, says takes everyone coming together to accomplish. From Parade judges to volunteers, to vendors! They all are vital to making such an event possible.
What makes these festivals come together are the people that spend hours into making it happen. The Chamber of Commerce is the main hub for all planning when it comes to these events, in addition, they provide all the different blow-up houses, the rock climbing wall, the Train ride, and all other rentals.
Mr. Champion wanted to bring special attention to the volunteers from Communities in Schools and HOSA kids. Champion shares they had 15 volunteers help with supervising the festival being sure kids were being safe while still having fun. He thanks Aurora Brito with HOSA and Leticia Pereira with Communities in Schools.
