Hispanics of Today and Tomorrow and the Lyon County History Center culminated Hispanic Heritage Month Saturday with a cooperative community celebration.
The celebration served as the culmination of various events held over the past several weeks highlighting the culture and the contributions of the Hispanic community to society.
Jorge Britez HOTT member and ESU Assistant Online Program Coordinator of the Department of English, Modern Languages, and Journalism says the celebrations have seen a large rise in community participation in comparison to previous years.
Saturday’s celebration took place inside the Lyon County History Center. Deputy Director Lisa Soller says partnering with HOTT for this event was important because they wanted to tell the story of all the Hispanics that have made an impact in Lyon County.
The celebration was the last of Hispanic Heritage Month but HOTT still has more to come and now is finalizing the last details for their annual Día De Los Muertos celebration in downtown Emporia from 10:30 am to 5 pm on Saturday, Oct. 29.
