Some thoughts from SVA students.....

"The day of the dead parade was awesome. It was cool we got out there and inform the public about the farmer's protection act. it was also eyeopening to my surprise that most of the public didn't know much about GMO chile. In my point of view from being in the parade i think we had a lot of impact on those that seen the parade."
-Stephanie, SVA student

"That was one of the best days on Dragon Farm." - Angelo, SVA student


"I was there and I thought that the parade was totally cool and fun."- anonymous


"Wow thats really cool."- anonymous

"The paintings we did have so much meaning! I hope people can see our hard work and see how important this is! SUPPORT THE FARMING PROTECTION ACT!!!"- Lurdes, SVA student


"The Day of the Dead pared was a good way to expose our issues to a wider audience, and to educate those who did not know about what the "Farmer Protection Act" is about. I liked the way people responded to our float when we came rolling by. I was shocked with the amount of people who knew what the "Dragon Farm" is. Overall, the exposer of our artistic and agriculture enthusiasm showed with our float and the time and effort that we put towards. I am glad that the audience approved and hopefully absorbed the message."
- Josh Foster, SVA student
"This was a really good idea in order to bring awareness to the public about the farmer's protection act." ***** Marilyn*****, SVA student
"Today was "day of the dead" parade and we painted all of our faces like calaveras. It was a lot of fun making the float and being a part of the event. i had lots of fun and hope to do it again!"
-Rebecca Otero, SVA student
"The 'Day of the Dead' parade was a success! All the spectators seemed very supportive of the Farmers Protection Act. The art work that our class made for out float was filled with symbolism. The chiles represented GMO's, the chains on the ankles of the farmer and the hand coming out of the ground symbolized the freedom farmers are being deprived from now a days. Overall, the parade was really fun and exciting." - Saira Salas, SVA student
"This was a new and great experience, we had a lot of fun, and we hope we brought awareness to the public about the Farmers Protection Act."- AnaKaren, SVA student
