Children and students scramble for candy after Dan Martin broke a Pinata at the Thursday Fiesta.
Thursday is the last full day of work and the Colonia is busy. Everyone is trying to get as much done as possible before the crew leaves the site Friday at noon.

The crew wants Lou Lou, Lillia and Justo, Maria and Rudy and Patricia and Israel and the children in their homes before May. They are committed to establishing the standard for the Collegiate Challenge crews that follow next week.

"Do you think you did good yesterday," asks Carol Sherwood, executive director of Webb County Habitat. "The answer is O Yea."

All week the cheer fror something good and the start of the workday is O Yea and Sherwood has promised to explain the meaning Friday.

Thursday evening the Habitat friends invited the crew to a Fiesta at the state park. There was la musica de Mexico and dancing, basketball, conversation and a pinata. Everyone helped Olivia Galvan celebrate her eighth birthday.

Most of the students took a whack at the pinata until Dan Martin separated the head from the body of the pinata.

Friday is a half day of work, a half day of shopping and an evening at the Professional Bull Riders Tournament.
