Fiesta and Parade 2019 -There’s No Place Like PQ!

Posted on by

 

Our Community came together for the 24th Fiesta de Los Peñasquitos weekend May 4th and 5th, 2019.

Our families, neighbors, friends, associates, and dignitaries opened our home town with a sense welcome to all our Fiesta visitors. Gail Miller, MCHS Science Teacher and Wrestling Coach was our Fiesta Parade Grand Marshall. His credo is a shining example of the unity we promote throughout all our neighborhoods, ‘We are better together’.

Thank you to all of you who got up really early to volunteer for this year’s PQ5K Fun Run and Pancake Breakfast, and Parade set up and tear down on Sunday. We really appreciate all the students and scouts who took the opportunity to contribute and gain Community Service hours.  You did a fantastic job directing traffic and all the prep work  Saturday and Sunday mornings of the Fiesta weekend.  It really does take a village and so many had a fantastic time meeting new friends and ‘giving back’ to help make the Fiesta weekend events come to life.

 

We have a few video clips highlighting the community stand-outs and award winners who have gone above and beyond to ‘give-back’ in their own special way to Rancho Peñasquitos. Take a look, share, comment, and click this link  Fiesta Business of the Year, Volunteer of the Year and Bayou Brothers
