Sponsors Sought for Winter Haven Hispanic Heritage Celebration

The Puerto Rican/Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Polk County has been selected to present Winter Haven's inaugural Hispanic Heritage Celebration on October 15.

"Festival de Las America's (Festival of The Americas) will be a celebration of ALL of the Americas. A celebration of coming together in celebrating who we are as a people and as a nation today. Celebrating and paying homage to North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean nations," PRHCC president Ana Rivera said.

The festival will highlight musical entertainment from various artists, salsa lessons, raffles, vendors showcasing their services plus activities for the children. Admission to attend is FREE.

Interested merchants or service providers can still sign up to participate here. Deadline is September 30th.

If you would like to participate or sponsor the event please contact the PR/Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Polk County at 863-838-2084.

Volunteer of the Month Recognition

The deadline for nominations of our Volunteer of the Month closes COB Friday, Sept 2.

The Polk County Democratic Party relies on volunteers to keep voters and others engaged. While we are thankful for everyone who volunteers, we think it is fitting to acknowledge those who go above and beyond in their service to the party. They are an inspiration to us and believe they can be an inspiration for others.

To make this recognition campaign successful, we need each caucus and club to nominate a volunteer who deserves some special recognition. In making your submission, please provide a brief bio and photo of the nominee.

Nominations can be made by anyone to PolkDemWD@gmail.com
