What better way is there to meet our neighbors than at a free, music-oriented party?" DMS Fiesta Committee Chair- person Trish.Herholdt said this idea has been in the works for about two years. "There is a quickly growing Latino community all around southern Delaware. We hope everyone who hears about it will want to come to this celebration of music and the arts," she said. If all goes well, a Fiesta Two . will take place in Georgetown lat- er this year.
