Hund Park hosts food, games & fun
Martin Hernandez of Mattawa enjoys the free breakfast and the company of his children, Kimberly and Steven.
MATTAWA - Hund Memorial Park was festive last weekend as Mattawa area residents occupied it for the annual Comm"Unity" Days.
There was music by the ever popular local rock band Groove Principal, breakfast by the Wahluke Enhancement Organization and entertainment by the boys in the Belly Busting Burrito contest.
In the burrito eating contest, Arturo Valdez, Cesar Arrieta, Fernando Valdovinos and Jack Yorgesen squared off.
Valdez and Yorgesen, champs the last two years, advanced to the hall of fame with their epic showdown. They finished one super-giant burrito in seven and 15 minutes respectively. Arrieta and Valdovinos fell short of finishing.
