TALLAHASSEE BICENTENNIAL SPECTACULAR – Celebrating 200 years of Hispanic Heritage

Nov 9, 2024:  Conexion Media Group (CMG), along with several sponsors, hosted a special lunch time event during the Tallahassee Bicentennial Weekend Spectacular.  The Parkview at Cascades ballroom was full and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, folkloric dances by Un Poquito de Mexico and The Gypsy Rhythm Dancers, a short act by Theater with a Mission, and singing from the talented Elio Delgado.  A lecture on the connection of Hispanics to the history of Tallahassee and Leon County was also part of the activity and was given by CMG President, David Triana and Deborah DeSilets.

We thank all the sponsors who made this happen including:  Florida Blue, Tally Arepas, Pepper’s Mexican Grill and Cantina, Mama’s House in Quincy, Le Point Pastry and Bakery, Yvon’s Peruvian Cuisine, Habana’s Boardwalk Cuban Restaurant, and Minnie’s Cakes.
