The scorching heat last weekend couldn’t keep the Back-of-the-Yards community from having a little fun during the Fiesta Back of the Yards three-day extravaganza. Replete with carnival attractions, rock climbing wall, an assortment of delicious foods, and many talented acts including Durangense superstar Diana Reyes, fest goers had their chance to truly enjoy the spirit of festival. As part of a cultural celebration people of all ages and backgrounds had a chance to see, firsthand, what makes Back of the Yards so uniquely special.
