‘YEAR OF THE WORKER’ PARTY SMASHES PREVIOUS ATTENDANCE RECORD

As Louisville, Chicago, Atlanta, Columbus, and many other communities across the country prepare for the 2005 Taco Bell Truth Tour, Immokalee isn’t about to be outdone. On Sunday, February 6, workers filled the street in Immokalee for the annual “Year of the Worker” party. After all, every year in Immokalee is a Year of the Worker.

Without a doubt, this year’s party was the biggest ever featuring clowns, live music, and the comedic stylings of not one, but two, Spanish television celebrities: Fernando Arau, a staple of Year of the Worker parties past, and a new addition to the lineup — Don Francisco, Señor TV himself and host of the much-loved variety show, Sabado Gigante.
