pected six more weeks of win.
The Hallettsville La Vaca Fiesta Association in thbif
first meeting for 1947 set the date for the La Vaca FiesU
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 4, 5 and 6.
The only event planned for Thursday thus far is the Coro-
nation of the Queen to be staged that night.
Tentative plans call for the
Coronation to open the festivities
and then the King and Queen
of the Fiesta and their Court
will participle in the parade to
be held on Friday. The Queen’S
Ball will probably be held on
Thursday night, with an nM-thne
dance to be staged on Friday
night, followed by the Grand
Ball on Saturday night. Thess
dances will be held provided
arrangements can be made for
bands on these nights.
While complete plans for the
Fiesta have not as yet bSS*
completed the Association will
this year add exhibits, both Live-
stock, Poultry and Farm Exhi- |
bits. Further announcements will
be forthcoming about this pbSSt
of the Fiesta due to the fact that
buildings are not as yet avail*
