Roswell Folkl rico . . Click on Image for Larger Version Established in September 1991 by Frank Herrera with the expressed purpose of preserving the rich heritage of traditional regional Mexican dances through teaching and popularizing the varied and colorful heritage of Mexico, the Roswell Folkl rico began what was supposed to be a six week class. The group now performs an average of forty times during the year. They have danced for many fiestas, receptions, and other festivities throughout the state, and West Texas.
Costumes are colorful, authentic, and traditional.
Each costume represents a different region of Mexico. In 1998, the group was awarded the New Mexico Recreation and Park Association's Arts and Humanities Program Award, awarded in Taos, New Mexico, and in 1999 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Roswell Folkl rico received the National Recreation and Park Association Southwest Region's Arts and Humanities Award. The Asociaci n seeks to increase the education and understanding of Mestizo, Native American, and Hispanic Folk Art. . . Our thanks to the folks at The Roswell Daily Record Online , Roswell.
