Sabor de Mexico

Mil gracias to all that participated in the 1st Annual Sabor Latino Dance Competition. We appreciate your support! Olverita's....mil gracias for bringing out your "VILLAGE"!!! Also, to all the judges who came as far as SALINAS to judge this 1st competition.

The weather was great, the food was awesome from KoraZon de Nayarit & Maria Maria. The homemade ice cream "Marcelino'S" was DELICIOSO!! The talent we saw was a SHEER DELIGHT!!! We hope to have your support next year and look forward to your comments and suggestions.

The questionnaire will be open on www.gruposabordemexico.org on the Sabor Latino page by Wednesday. So, please fill it out if you were there. It was our first year trying to organize something at the "BEACH". We hope you all enjoyed yourselves.

Well enough already....come on, you wanna know the results?
