“It was good to see the new generation in La Feria out and enjoying themselves,” commented City Manager Sunny K. Philip.

The family friendly gathering was held at the Veteran’s Memorial Park across from the new Youth Recreation Center on Pancho Maples Drive in La Feria. There were several entries in the pumpkin carving contest.
