The Program
This year the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana will be having its 61st celebration of family and culture! The Fiesta Mexicana is the largest and most recognized annual event in the Woodburn area. Candidates of the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana Court will find their experiences and varied social engagements to be challenging, while also rewarding. We will evaluate the candidates according to their demonstrated commitment to academics, community service, as well as their performance during official Fiesta Court functions.
Being a member of the Fiesta Court is a great honor that carries with it the responsibility for representing the North Marion Community and the Woodburn Fiesta itself. The Court Program will provide candidates with exposure to activities and training that will help prepare them for academic, community service, and career opportunities.
The Woodburn area community is filled with intelligent, creative, and resilient people that, when given skills and opportunities, will find solutions to improve their and their community’s quality of life. Therefore, a major focus of the program will be related to the candidates’ participation in volunteer activities that provide social or livability benefits to the community. In evaluating candidates, the Fiesta Court Committee will be looking for dedicated individuals with solid leadership skills, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to honesty and integrity.
