Throughout his life, Cas Stimsom always gravitates toward the most difficult jobs. “Frankly,” he explains with enthusiasm, “I like it that way!”
That means this year’s Old Spanish Days Fiesta is in good hands, for Cas is El Presidente. This weeklong festival is unique because it’s actually run by the board of directors rather than a hired staff. Cas joined the organization in 2005, since overseeing everything from parade marshals and mercados to El Desfile Historico and numerous other committees. Cas even met his wife Kathy during Old Spanish Days 25 years ago, which gives special meaning to this year’s theme, Fiesta Romantica.
