¡Celebramos! HHM Grand Finale: Mercado + Inspirational Talk with Candy Calderon (Watch the 🎥 )
What better way to wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month than with a vibrant Mercado and an inspirational talk with Wellness Expert and Brain Health Professional, Candy Calderon.
Last week, the NYC + SM Farmhouse was transformed into a lively marketplace, showcasing the rich tapestry of Hispanic cultures. GumGummers were treated to an array of delicious food, representing a diverse range of culinary traditions. From savory empanadas to sweet and spicy treats, there was something to satisfy every taste bud.
The fun didn't stop there! A lively game of Loteria (similar to BINGO) kept everyone entertained, while a talented bartender shook things up with a selection of mouthwatering margaritas (with mocktail options for those who preferred). And in a nod to the Caribbean, the NYC team got hands-on, crafting their own batch of creamy coquito – a traditional coconut-based holiday drink.
Bursting with flavor, fun, and community spirit, the Mercado was enjoyed by all who attended! Our HOLA ERG certainly knows how to throw a fiesta! This festive gathering was a wonderful way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, highlighting Hispanic cultures' incredible diversity and vibrancy.
