SAN ANTONIO – The Spectrum News Fiesta medals have arrived!
Reporter Annette Garcia went inside the large warehouse where the Spectrum News Fiesta medals are getting the finishing touches.
Jason Drago is behind the family business that creates the Fiesta medals. He said it is madness inside Monarch Trophy this time of year.
"It's a lot of fun. We get to work with great organizations and get to hear some great stories," Drago said.
Monarch Trophy has been creating medals for decades. Some of the medals can be made in about a week, but the most creative and colorful take some time to design.
- Fiesta is an annual festival held from April 18 through April 28 in San Antonio
- Started in 1891 to honor heroes of the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto
- Grown into city-wide celebration paying homage to San Antonio’s culture
