Mexican Drill Team

Performing in the Horse Arena at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 12th.

Estrellitas De Plata (Little Silver Stars) is based out of Enumclaw.
They are the first youth girls escaramuza to become members representing the Washington State Federation of Charreria. A huge win for the future of the sport that was recently integrated only 10-12 years ago as part of the United States chapter.

Under the Federated Charros Team Herencia Bonita. Founded in 2008 by the Velasquez family.

The girls all are learning to ride side saddle as young women did before them. In the early 1800s as it was considered unladylike to ride with both legs in stirrups.

Many of the original escaramuzas have been known to play a huge roles during the Mexican revolution. Taking on laborious tasks while the men went to war. Even working cattle and ranges all while riding side saddle. Some traditional dresses are known as "China Poblana"- A hand-made formal type of dress, however, can be worn during competitions. Including stitching over a thousand sequences creating a visual or design.

"Adelita"- Day-to-day wear, still showing elaborate handmade dresses, covering neck to the heel of the boots. Usually, silk rebosos accompany the dress for an additional touch.

"De gala"- Formal wear only used during weddings or very exclusive events. Usually black with silver or gold string stitching. With an equally plated sombrero to exemplify royalty.

This is only a small amount of the details we like to keep alive with our sport charreria...derived from the vaqueros " Original Cowboys "in the early 1700-1800s during the Spanish Inquisition.

We are beyond excited to have the girls showcase their heritage and participate in the county fair that many reside in!

Kids Pedal Tractor Pull

Kids Pedal Tractor Pull

What is a tractor pull?

Kid’s pedal a vintage 1950s highly modified tractor with an attached weight transfer sled. Metal plates are loaded according to their age category for them to pedal and pull the sled down a 25 ft track. If reaching the end they achieve a “full pull” or a “pull out”. From there they move into the finals with increased weight with some kid’s being known to pull up to 500 lbs. The suspense and drama is action-packed.
