Chasco Street Parade Brings Crowds Downtown

The annual Chasco Fiesta Street Parade drew crowds to Main Street to celebrate in the spring heat Saturday.

The parade is part of the multi-day Chasco Fiesta celebration, which was cut from 11 days to 9 days. The parade included floats and parades and appearances from local and not-so-local dignitaries

Concurrently, a Native American Pow Wow and Festival in Sims Park featured danging, singing, dancers, music and food.
