See their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fiesta-Grande/153900724674515. From this page is a photo of a large autographed print by artist Linda Victoria which will be auctioned off at the fiesta. See it below depicting Pat’s diner which sells memorable hot dogs and chili, and a classic car (usually each fiesta has had a classic car show right there outside of Pat’s drive up restaurant).

Enjoy this grand fiesta on Grande Avenue.
