HACU, members show San Antonio Fiesta spirit with Fiesta Medals

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) unveiled its first Fiesta Medal commemorating its 30-year anniversary (see related article here), in conjunction with the annual Fiesta celebration of the City of San Antonio.

Fiesta San Antonio is a 125-year local tradition filled with parades, carnivals, cultural appreciation events and many other festivities. Many Fiesta medals are designed in the brightest of colors, and collecting and trading them has become a delight for San Antonio locals.
