ANOTHER CHILDREN'S PARADE OVER, SOMBREROFEST IS ON


(Ed.'s Note: Everyone has their own way of enjoying the Charro Days BISD Children's Parade, and as the adults watched the school dance teams dance on the street, this young charro was having a great time with his bubble maker. For more than two hours, the public, charter and religious school dancers walked along Elizabeth Street with drill teams and school bands. Two more parades are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, and SombreroFest starts in full swing tonight. But after the parade, someone has to pick up the folding chairs. The Lions Clubs count on the income from chair rentals to fund their good works throughout the year.)

Why is it the lions have a monopoly over the chairs? What about the knights of columbus the rotary, al anon, good neighbor, ozanam, united way?

I believe that the lions would lose their monopoly if they did not have the equipment, infrastructure, volunteers that actually show up, and most of all, THE CHAIRS ...

Why dont you complain about the drinking at Sombrero fest and all the money spent to cater to junk food and beer.

Is that our culture level? Complain about healthy lifestyle and celebrate drinking and eating shit food?

What about Mardi Gras, SXSW in Austin and other major festivals all over the country. Is that their culture level, or are you complaining because for some stupid reason-PENDEJO/PENDEJA. Festivals are for making monies and the majority goes to municipalities so they have monies for their PET PROJECTS like your friend la chisquiada!!! Instead of using these funds for important necessities like infrastructure, maintenance of streets, BUS SHELTERS and NOT useless projects like bike trails.

With all the fanfare of Charro Days and the fantastic dancing of our young people, why should some people (above) be negative and petty to focus on who rents chairs. The kids did a great job in the parade.

You are right! It was just an observation on revenue the city could use to pay all the overtime for the police department. But since you mention sombrero... a "non profit"
50,000 visitors at $10 a piece... thats $500k plus the tickets for food and drinks. This is a real cash cow. who is auditing their books. Its an all cash policy. Very shady...

How about a financial report on the Charro Days and the non profit ?

Years 2010 yo 2017. You will be in for a surprise ?

There should be a rotation between those that have the equipment to place chairs on Elizabeth street just like the wrecker companies, not just the lions. Enough is enough they've been doing this for 50 years just like the deputy dog over at finance dept. A change is needed.

More bike trails more pot holes more flooding more traffic jams more grass on sidewalks more hot temperatures on non-existing bus shelters more fancy fliers with pretty colors (no bids taken on this one) more bike barns for free repair of bikes for the elite.

Just an observation not instigating anything here. No name calling.

So you defend the low culture level event (which has nothing to do with Charros or Mexican Heritage - a frijoles competition is an insult to Mexican Heritage) because is creates revenue for the City, but then you criticize the projects the revenue is channeled to?

WOW - not only is your culture level a pile of shit, your also stupid. Long story short your a stupid pile of shit - and apparently - proud of it.
