The Round About Players help Confirm the SJC City Council
Support of the Fiesta De Los Golondrinas

On Tuesday, March 19th, St Josephs Day, the SJC City Council officially recognized the Fiesta Association and the Fiesta De Las Golondrinas for the 2024 season. For the first time, members of the Round About Players, led by Gary McCarver, made sure that Mayor Farias acted in an honorable fashion as he officially approved of the Swallows Day Parade season with all of the events. Mayor Farias was also given an official 2024 Fiesta Association belt buckle for making the right decision:) Thank you SJC City Council for your support! Photos courtesy of Rick Valasek.
