The Polanco Association in Illinois (POLASIL) celebrated their town fiesta on May 24 at the Golf-Maine park District in Niles, Illinois.

Headed by Ermie Repaja-Nalzaro the event brought together Polanquenos from all over the Chicagoland area and their friends. The mass, officiated by Fr. Manny Duterte kicked off the well-attended celebration. Another highlight of the evening was the raffle draw with valuable donated prizes.

The night’s fabulous lights and sounds were generously provided by DJ Dante. (ABF/More photos coming)
