Patrons plan for 61st enchilada feed

The 61st annual Hornitos enchilada dinner will take place on Saturday, March 6 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Golden Stag Hall in Hornitos.

Organizers are looking forward to the performance of Rancho Valencia, Spanish dancing horses; and Sol Del Valle, a young dance group; from 6 p.m. Vendors will present their local, handmade crafts and western music entertainment.
