Today s the Feast of Sharing and it will be held at the International Center for Trade. 8,000 plates are expected to be served. The event is a collaboration between HEB, the City of Eagle Pass, the Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of volunteers. Sandra Martinez, Directress of the Chamber of Commerce, informed The News Gram that all who come will be served, however, they are expecting to distribute many of the plates to the homes of the elderly and those who may be homebound due to illness. The Eagle Pass Police Department will be present with other security personnel to make sure that the event flows smoothly and without incident. The event will begin at 11:00 A.M. through 3 P.M. and the public in general is invited to attend from both sides of the border and even those who may be visiting Eagle Pass are also invited. The traditional event which begins the Thanksgiving Day festivities in our fair city has been going on for 16 years and has been held at both Eagle Pass High school and at CC Winn High School, and now it will be held at the ICT for the first time. Other businesses and entities are preparing their own Thanksgiving Day festivities to unite their employees, share a meal and give thanks to God for all of the blessings received throughout the year.
