Today the Edinburg Centennial Committee held a ceremony at the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce Depot culminating a week long celebration. Today's date marks the chosen anniversary date for the Edinburg Centennial. A later historical event, the coming of the railroad to Edinburg, was recreated on the raildroad tracks adjacent to the Edinburg Depot. The photo above shows members of the Centennial Committee along with community leaders.
Shown in the photo: J.J. Rodriguez, Maggie Kent, Councilman Gene Espinoza, Councilwoman Alma Garza, Cynthia Bocanegra, Mayor Joe Ochoa, Gus Casas, Rep. Aaron Peña, Cris Torres, Elva Jackson Garza, Letty Gonzalez, Flo Prater and Johnny Rodriguez.
Just like the 1927 photo of the Missouri Pacific Railroad coming to Edinburg, our train today busted through a banner proclaiming the Centennial.
Afterwards, Mayor Ochoa and myself climbed aboard the train for photos.
