Paramount Chamber President, Leonard Crespo had this to say, “Being a grandfather my favorite part was seeing families out together and the children having so much fun.” Peggy Lemons Executive Director for the Paramount C h a m b e r s a i d , “ Wow, t h i s event was a lot of work. I am so grateful to all the major sponsors who donated the money to make it possible.
Also I can’t say enough about the Paramount Entertainment Center who not only donated the property for the event but supplied the security and manpower to make it a success. We also received donations from Molina Health Care, and RMI International. This event required a lot of planning and a lot of volunteers, I’m so grateful to everyone who donated their time and money. I really need to thank the committee who spent months planning this event and getting all of the artist to perform at the festival; thank you Mark Guillen, Brenda Olmos, Biviano Favela, and Steve Guillen.”
