Hispanic community brings Christmas to Watford

The Watford City Civic Center Gym was the place to be this past Sunday as the area was filled with a festive celebration of Hispanic foods and activities for a La Posada, which was held by the Hispanic Advocacy of North Dakota (HAND).
“La Posada, in English, translates to Christmas caroling,” says Yolanda Rojas, director of the Hispanic Advocacy of North Dakota. “It’s the equivalent of going caroling in people’s neighborhoods.”
“I’m excited to introduce the community to traditional Spanish culture during the holidays. There’s a lot of non-Hispanic, Americans that have never experienced that,” she says.
With Colombian, Salvadorian and Mexican food up for grabs by vendors that night, volunteers were serving Ponche (fruit punch) free of charge.
