Blogger Attends “Junta Hispana.” Goes, “Meh.”

We’ve never heard of this joint, “Junta Hispana,” but luckily blogger Chanfles! in L.A. covered it for us:

Happening today at the park as well was this Junta Hispana, some sort of festival that tries to highlight the different cultures and countries of the Americas. You can pick up a “passport” at the welcome booth, get a stamp from at least 5 country booths, and you can then enter into a raffle. It seems to be big in New York, [Ed. Note: Um, no.] but it was quite sparse when I was there today.

But looking through his pics, it seems that most of the flags represented countries like Disneyland and McDonald’s.

[Here’s] A fancy tent for the country of Verizona, I’ve never heard of it but I think it’s a neighbor to Venezuela.

After finding only a few food booths, Chanfles! finally strikes gold. Well, plated anyway:

Finally, we get to the mildly interesting part! I thought this display by LA County Vector Management was pretty cool, with info on how to keep rats and mice out of your home. […] they even brought along some samples of captured vectors. The big one is a squirrel.

We really have no words.
