Things We Learned During Fiesta in the Plaza Event
We asked attendees to share anything they know about the Spanish Colony. We also asked for names of anyone who might be willing to share stories about the Colony and their experiences there.
Jenny and Alvin Garcia owned the store at the Colony. Jenny owns Tropical Sno and has memorabilia.
Two grandmas Espinoza and Rodriguez still live at the Colony and should have more info. Don't have last names...does anyone know them?
Hillary mentioned that she moved here in 1984. Her parents know a lot of the history and maybe able to help out.
It was shared that Linda Trimberger used to teach kids from the Colony.
Anabel Cansona's dad used to live in the Colony and ran the store.
Tony Leon's grandpa used to live at the Colony and helped build the church.
Other contacts that may have more to share about the Spanish Colony included, Manuel and Rose Fontes, Linda Flores Mendoza and Jessy Mendoza.
Thank you for your contribution!
