Events ranged from honoring veterans of Puerto Rican descent to a lively parade that was organized by local citizens and attended by residents from across Central Florida. The Hispanic Heritage Committee of Greater Orange County (HHCGOC) coordinated and organized a festive kick-off reception on the north lawn of Orange County’s Administration Center in mid-September that featured musical performances, delicious food and an exhibition highlighting the works of talented local Hispanic artists. The event was attended by Orange County commissioners, constitutional officers, employees and more than 150 citizens. Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs was the keynote speaker at the event and acknowledged the many accomplishments of Hispanics in Orange County during her remarks.
