Denison to celebrate Dia de los Muertos IV




Denison Dia de los Muertos is an annual event celebrating a Hispanic cultural event combined with a tour of some of the art galleries, exhibits, and demonstrations in the area. The 4th Annual Dia de los Muertos celebration will be on Saturday, November 7, 2015 from 10 am to 5 pm in downtown Denison.

A Dia de Los Muertos Parade with giant puppets will be one of the highlights of the celebration when the streets of Denison will be turned into a bustling Mercado, or marketplace, with live music, Mariachis, Street Mercado, Ofrendas, arts and crafts, Raku Rumble, international foods and beverages and activities for all ages.

Though its name may sound somber and morbid, its purpose is to celebrate and rejoice. The Day of the Dead – El Dia de los Muertos – is a Mexican festival that honors and remembers loved ones who have died. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans believe that the souls of the deceased return each year to visit them.

The giant puppet parade starts at 1pm. In addition to the puppets the parade will feature the Caballeros, dancers in colorful costumes. and Mariachis bands. Other activities throughout the day include shopping, a car show, bounce house, petting zoo and face painting. Come join Denison’s celebration of life!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 57 degrees; 1.86 feet below pool. Striped bass are good using live shad and cut bait anchored in 45-65 feet of water thumping the boat and running a splasher to get the fish under the boat. Recent rains will have a lot of big female fish up river but look for them on flats and structure with swim baits in 12-25 feet of water. Crappie are good on jigs using electronics to fish brush in the little mineral arm 15-22 feet of water. Also seeing fish in the creeks 2-4 feet of water on brush. Smallmouth or largemouth bass are slow fishing docks and structure with crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Look for SM on gravel beds along the bluffs in 6-12 feet of water. Catfish are slow on cut gizzard shad anchored near the rivers in 5-10 feet of water but starting to see eater size fish coming on ledges and flats in 40-55 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass continue to be caught with Alabama rigs or sassy shad targeting ledges and structures in 5-40 feet of water. Some sporadic schooling activity and bird action. Some fish are moving into creeks. The shad spawn should begin as the water near 68 degrees. This runs around six weeks, bringing predator fish shallow and kicks off topwater season. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
