High River has 30 Mexican families. 

One of the connectors and ambassadors of not only her culture but also High River's is Lise Vigueras.

Lise Vigueras

You will find Lise volunteering just about everywhere in town.  She also started the Ireri-Smiles organization to help share her culture and share smiles in the community.

She popped into the studio to help celebrate Cinco de Mayo with us.  She told us the holiday is celebrated more outside of Mexico as their big celebration is their Independence Day in September.

There will be a local celebration on Saturday May 6th at the Museum of the Highwood at 2pm and all are invited.

Lise brought in traditional Mexican dresses for us to try on and learn more about for the show.

It felt like being a little girl again playing dress up!
