Per the official Fiesta Site ( http://www.fiesta-sa.org/events_detail.aspx?id=8 ) this is the 17th year for this organization.
I was unable to get this medal as it went out quickly, but I was able to meet Cleto Rodriguez, a local celeb, who was on their float this year.
But as you can see, I have the medal in my collection.
Even though I was not able to get it from the Barrio Staff themselves, I have an amazing neighbor who shares my love of medals. She and I trade extras. I have told her frequently, if she chooses to sell off her collection, I want first shot at it.
As I shook the hand of Cleto, my Medic proudly (?) told him I was the medal whore of the family.
I did not turn around to see the look on Cleto's face, but I bet it was a puzzled one.
I do encourage you all to click on this link and read their article and support them in the way you see best so they can continue their works.
