Lost Pines Toyota Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month A Community Gathering Full of Culture, Fun and Health Resources Carlos Liriano and the Lost Pines Toyota family’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month was a vibrant and heartwarming event, bringing together community members, local businesses and partners to honor the rich cultural traditions and promote wellness in Bastrop County. The day was energetic, featuring traditional food, music and activities. Attendees enjoyed performances from the Cedar Creek Varsity and Junior Varsity teams, as well as the Bastrop Middle School Folkloric groups, who showcased the beauty of Hispanic dance and culture. The delicious offerings from local favorites — Casa Chapala Bastrop, Poco Loco Supermercado and Berry Cool Snow Cones — ensured no one was left hungry! In addition to food and entertainment, the event offered important community resources. Attendees received health information and were part of an educational panel focused on traumatic brain injury (TBI) awareness and prevention in children.
