On October 20th,   we  celebrated our communities Hispanic Heritage by participating in the 2nd  Annual Hispanic Fest. This was a joint event held by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County along with the Greater Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce.  The event took place at Bryant Park in Lake Worth and it is the largest Hispanic Celebration in Palm Beach County.
	This was a Family Friendly and Fun event for our members and community.  Thousands of Hispanics and non Hispanics packed the park for a fabulous day at the park.  We had some rain but that did not stop us from having fun. We had great entertainment which included: Albita, Mariachi Rodeo, Grupo Ambicioñ and Grupo Charambo.

Thank you to all who came by the Guardian Financial Network booth and special appreciation to all the Sponsors for participating and making of this event a great success.

We would like to recognize Mabel Datena of Datena Motors for organizing the
“Parade of Nations” which made this event truly memorable.
