September 6th. 2008 was the first Diversity Day in Galt. It was at the Galt Community Park at Walnut and Carillion on the east side. Dozens of booths, featuring our many local organizations, were in attendance. A dozen groups (see list below) provided almost constant entertainment for all to enjoy. The master of ceremonies was Crystal Rodriguez, a junior in the award winning engineering program. Congratulations for a job well done
This Mexican folk dance demonstration was awash in color. They are Ballet Folklorico Nube de Oro and were just one of many groups to entertain on Diversity Day.
This skilled dancer was so happy to pose and show her beautiful costume for the camera. Thank you.
