Hispanics from all over the Merrimack Valley as well as the
Greater Boston area were attracted by the combined efforts of
Power 800, the Chamber and Rumbo, starting forming a line three
hours before the starting time. By 3:00 PM, the line was at the
end of the handicapped ramp, outside the building.
Pat Costa estimated the attendance at more than 1,200. Costa
explained that the station was giving away door prizes and they
collected more than 1,000 of those filled out forms, “and I know
that not everyone filled the them out,” said Costa.
Joseph Bevilacqua, president of the Chamber of Commerce was also
very excited about the results of the event and is already gearing
up for next year’s. Considering that this was planned just a month
ago, he felt that it was successful. “Next year, it will be
better. All these businesses are coming back and many more that
are planning to come”, said Bevilacqua.
