    I am completely blown away by these comments! And here I just moved my children "home" from Idaho because I didn't want to raise my Hispanic and Caucasian young and impressionable sons in a state with no "cultural" or "diversity!" This was the first event that we have attended since our return. I was very pleased and overwhelmed to be able to appreciate the people who made this public and free event possible. If it is thought that it did not properly signify the most accurate portrayal of this significant holiday than I would certainly hope that your presence and input was given. Not to mention a donation to the people who have used their own time and money to create such an event for the future generations such as my children to be able to be "rightfully" informed of such historical and important holidays regardless of who or whom thinks their nationality or race should permit them to do so. Not once did I look around and think about which races I and my children were surrounded by but instead of the beatiful colors and faces and being able to remember those who have past and who's present this particular day is significant for. If it is or anyone sees it to be anything else than for how beautiful it was and how much it meant to this community than maybe it just isn't the place for you rather than pointing out those who you feel should or shouldn't have been there. In the end you can't please everyone and I think the amount of people who were in attendance at this event proves otherwise.
