On Sunday afternoon, the charros showed off their riding and roping skills, young and old. The young ladies are in high school, one young man is already a champion, and the older man is a multi-national champion in roping. The two little ones are following in their families footsteps.

Fiesta Latina dancing 0618-061922

Part of the pageantry of the Fiesta Latina is dancing. At least two folklorico groups danced on Saturday and Sunday with swishing skirts and big sombreros. Also on Saturday, Danza Azteca performed. They said they usually have about 40 people in their group, but due to visas, they had four, but they put on a good show. The blowing of the conch shell and the sound it produced announced their group.

Fiesta Latina Mercado 061822

Almost 30 rtisans from all corners of Mexico filled the tent on the Western New Mexico University campus and showed at the Mercado their creative wares - everything from jewelry to clothing to toys and wood carvings to weavings and copper ware to handmade paper wall hangings to ceramics and straw and feather art. The variety was stunning and in the case of this writer, always offers an opportunity to treat herself as well as buy Christmas gifts early. 

While the mercado was in full swing, so was the entertainment from music to dancing to charros.

Two future slideshows will feature some of the dancers and charros doing their tricks.
