Last night was the 28th Annual St. John's Fiesta Mexicana. Each yeah, St. John the Evangelist highlights the Mexican community in Lawrence by hosting a weekend of events of food, fun, and music on the school parking lot grounds. Pete and I ventured out there with his parents last night-- who were in town for the weekend -- to see the sights. When we arrived, the Mariachi band was playing, and just before we left, these dancers took the stage.
Here are Fr. John (Pastor at St. John's) and Lisa (Music Director at St. John's) tasting some delicious food, and obviously enjoying themselves.

In my four years in Lawrence, I've yet to get to fully experience the fiesta (it was HOT last night, so we couldn't stay long) but there's always next year.
