Saturday 30 April 2011 was a day in the life of the city of Puyallup for Troy's Work Table. The second main event was "El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Day of the Children/Day of the Books)" at the
Puyallup Public Library. It was a day that celebrated the cultural contributions of our Hispanic citizens to our wonderful city. This annual event included Latin American dancing, the live music of
Grupo Indomable, a feast of various ethnic foods, crafts, and a free bilingual book for each child that attended (provided by the Friends of the Library). It was loud and crowded and a lot of fun.

Dancing.
The brilliant colors of celebration and fiesta.
Circles.
More dresses as circles.
Still more dresses as circles. I believe I was hypnotized by the colors and motion from my perch on the Library's second floor walkway.
Enchiladas, rice and beans, pizza, donuts and cookies, juice, nachos—all provided by local businesses.

Bilingual storytime.
Balloons as far as the eye can see.
