Tamale Fest: A Sizzling Success
This past weekend, the courthouse grounds in Hays County came alive with the sights, sounds and flavors – definitely flavors – of the very first Tamale Fest. Held on the grounds of the historic courthouse, the event was more than just a celebration of food; it was a heartfelt tribute to the community’s rich cultural heritage and unity.
“It is my profound honor to stand here at the very first Tamale Fest in Hays County, right on the grounds of our historic courthouse,” Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said. “Today, we gather for more than just a celebration of food; we’re here to honor the enduring traditions and shared values that unite us all. Tamales represent a cherished piece of our collective heritage, a symbol of warmth, resilience and unity that transcends generations. By coming together, we not only celebrate a beloved dish but also strengthen the bonds that make our community and our country extraordinary.”
