Hispanic Heritage Month Chess Tournament

     Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates all of the influences and customs that we love and enjoy here in the U.S.A. The Hispanic food, the music, the art and the language that enriches our daily lives is ever so present in our small part of the world. Taco Bell, Mighty Taco, avocados, tortillas, burritos, fajitas, salsa, The Tango, El Merengue, El Paso Doble, Pablo Picasso, Dali, Frida Kahlo, Antonio Banderas, Pedro Lopez,  Sofia Vergara, and supreme court judge Sotomayor are just a few of the names, sounds, and people that Hispanic month brings to mind. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated between September 15th thru October 15th. Share in the cultural adventure they bring to us.
