| Garlic Fiesta |  | | Latin Dancers, featuring performers in wooden masks and young girls in colorful dress, dance the Danza de los Viejitos (Dance of the Old Men) Saturday afternoon at the 11th Annual Tonasket Garlic Festival held in History Park last Friday and Saturday. The dance is a tradition of Michoacan, Mexico and starts with the "old men" hunched over and builds until they are vigorously dancing combined with trembling and shaking and even falling over. The dancers were among several different entertainments that were offered at this annual event that features garlic and other fresh produce for sale, a wine tasting from the four local wineries, arts and crafts and much more.
