Ornament making was a favorite for children of all ages - even moms!
Merry-Achi Christmas is a music and dance performance held annually at Macey Center in Socorro, New Mexico. This year, we had
a sneak preview performance by Grupo de Danza Awirima, an award winning dance group from Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Awirima dancers readying for their performance at the Center.
Grupo de Danza Awirima dancers astonished the audience with their colorful dress and precision dancing. The dancers are high school
students from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Following the performance, Foundation Board members Paul Harden and Linda Gonzales presented each student with a gift packet consisting
of a Camino Real t-shirt, pin, and information about the Center to thank them for their performance.
Checking out their t-shirts.
