Bengals Munoz set to Marshall Hispanic Festival tomorrow in Dayton; Which National Music and Dance Groups will be there?

On Saturday, the biggest Hispanic Festival in Ohio will go down in Dayton, Ohio.

Anthony Munoz set to Marshall Hispanic Heritage Festival Saturday at Rivercape

And when you have the biggest event in the state, you look for the biggest names possible.

When  Karla Knox-Gordon, a secretary for PACO, and the Chairwoman for the Parade,  was thinking about who could be a possible embassador for the Annual Hispanic Heritage Festival, she went to her husband.
Marvan Gordon, a football coach at Belmont, suggested that maybe she reach out to Former Cincinnati Bengals lineman, and Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz.

After all, Munoz is Latin.

"And who knows?" Marvan told Karla.
"He might just say yes."


While Karla thought it might be a longshot, she sent the information about the Festival, which will feature the best dancers, musicians, performers and food from all over the country as they will celebrate the Hispanic culture

Within a day, Munoz and his team and responded.

And the next thing you know, it was all in stone, as the top Bengal of All-Time will be the Grand Marshall for the big event in Dayton.

The Mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley, also will be in the parade as well.

When Munoz heard about the event,
he wanted to be a part of it, without hesitation.

And when you have some of the best performers coming from all parts of the world?
Why would you miss it?

The Festival will take place at Riverscape in Downtown Dayton. It will go from 11-11, with a myriad of music performances, vendors, and people.  The parade will start at noon.

With great weather, this could be the event of the summer! 

Just ask Anthony Munoz.
