FIESTA San Antonio, TX - 2009!!!

It's getting close, you can feel the excitement all over San Antonio as 101 Community Organizations  prepare for FIESTA SAN ANTONIO 2009!  The members of The Woman's Club of San Antonio are busy putting the finishing touches on their Official FIESTA Events and participation in the FIESTA Parades.

The Woman's Club's FIESTA Pins & Medals were designed in 2008 by a committee, which I chaired! They are now officially for sale.  You can contact The Woman's Club directly, contact me or you can purchase them at the FIESTA Store on Broadway.

The Fiesta Teen Queen has been selected and has already begun attending pre-FIESTA Events.  The FIESTA Queens' Reception is scheduled for Thursday, March 26, 2009, at The Woodward House (by invitation only).  We spent the day today preparing food and decorating the house -- tomorrow we add the finishing touches and will open the doors to welcome the Queens of FIESTA to a beautiful reception...be watching for photos. 

The FIESTA Teen Queen Coronation is scheduled for Sunday, April 19, 2009, at the San Pedro Playhouse.  This is a FREE FIESTA Event - 2:30 to 5:00 PM.

Plans for The Woman's Club of San Antonio's  Annual FIESTA Luncheon, Hat Contest & Style Show, scheduled for Tuesday, April 21^st at the Rivercenter Marriott on Bowie, are being finalized.   Many Woman's Club Members as well as members of the community are busy designing their FIESTA Hats to enter the FIESTA Hat Contest --  the ladies take this hat contest very seriously and coordinate their entire outfit for the FIESTA Luncheon, Hat Contest & Style Show around their FIESTA Hat.  Julie Jordan and I are Co-Chairing the Hat Contest - it's going to be soooo much fun!!!  (I'm chairing the Hat Contest this year!)  Make your reservations now and design your hat for the contest!  Seats are $55 and $75.
