The Governor's Mansion and First Lady Dema Guinn are welcoming an event tonight in honor of Mexican Independence Day. Gov. Kenny Guinn proclaimed Sept. 16 as a day to honor and recognize Mexican-Americans in Nevada and across the nation.
An act of the 90th Congress on Sept. 17, 1968 initially designated a time to recognize the contributions and achievements of Mexican-Americans, and the 100th Congress in August 1988 created a month-long Hispanic Heritage celebration.
The event tonight begins at 6 p.m., with dinner served at 7 p.m.
For more information, contact the Governor's Mansion at (775) 687-3000.
