Las Cruces, NM - On this edition of PUENTES, bridges to the community, host Emily Guerra meets with Western New Mexico University Special Assistant to the President for Cultural Affairs, Faye McCalmont. She says a first-time special event in Silver City at WNMU, Fiesta Latina, will be held Father’s Day weekend, June 16th to 18th. The Grant County Commissioners, through a proclamation presented to the WNMU Cultural Affairs Department, declared this Father’s Day weekend as “Fiesta Latina Weekend.”
McCalmont says Fiesta Latina is an event to celebrate a cultural connection with Mexico and WNMU, since “WNMU has a wonderful connection with many of the Universities and High Schools throughout Mexico.” She says this is a very family-oriented event. It will begin this evening through Sunday, Father’s Day on the campus of WNMU.
