Border city to host four day Washington birthday celebration
Laredo Texas prepares to stage a four day international celebration marking Washington’s birthday with a 100000 strong parade of Mexicans and Texans, hundreds of Indians on horseback, 41 bands, a Noche Mexicana, and bullfights in Nuevo Laredo. Pocahontas becomes a key city symbol dating to 1897, linked to frontier legends and the Red Men, as goodwill events ease immigration restrictions for the festivity.
