On Saturday, November 9th, folks gathered in front of Fillmore City Hall for the Veterans Day Celebration in the Park, also put on by the Veterans Day Celebration Committee. From 4pm to 7pm, the community came out to listen to music, enjoy food and dance the night away. Photo credit Angel Esquivel.
