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 Para
des.
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 21st 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!

JuJu, that sounds like sooo much fun! What a party!
Hugs, Deb
Deb, thanks for stopping by. It's going to be sooo much fun. We've been very busy planning and organizing all of these events. I'll take pictures of the Queens' Reception tomorrow evening and will share them with you all. :)
Howdy there Judi
We'll be geting to see some real fine photos of, Fiesta San Antonio, Texas. From you and others. Fiesta sure is a fun time. How much are them there Medals?
Hi Judy, It is so much fun living in San Antonio, isn't it? We love Fiesta and so does the entire city! Beautiful post!
Hey there Dale. I have one post I need to add a couple of pictures to before posting it here. It's all about the sculpture we used to design the pins/medals and about the artist who created the sculpture.
The medals (like the one pictured) are $7/each.
Howdy there Judi
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that post. And stop in to read and leave you a comment on it.
Hi there Shirley, I love FIESTA!!! A few years ago I volunteered in the Fajita Booth at NIOSA -- that was really fun! This year has been a special year for me -- I've gotten to be a little more active in the planning of our Club events than I've been in awhile.
Dale, I'll get it posted early in the morning...
Howdy there Judi, my friend
Just got home a bit ago from doing an Inspection, of a repo home. So wanted to check in. I'll look for it tomorrow.
Judi - If we weren't on the verge of having a baby, I'm sure we would come down for Fiesta. You may recall that Pam grew up in San Antonio.
Hey Judi it is almost time to party. Do you still have my party hat from last year? I think it was a mile high with lots of fruit on top. I'll have to check maybe I have it.
Judi I found one but this is not the one and I can't find your blog from last year. So this one will have to do....Viva Fiesta!
