SAN ANTONIO – If Fiesta Medals are your thing, expect to see many repeats from 2020, as many organizations and nonprofits remain frugal during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Oyster Bake, a fundraiser for scholarships for the St. Mary’s University Alumni Association, already pulled the plug on its event until April 1-2, 2022.
Peter Hansen, executive director of alumni relations, says there’s no way to keep the university’s 7,000 staff members and students safe with traditional crowds of 60,000 to 70,000 people.
“It’s a big loss for San Antonio. A lot of money comes through the different groups and the city itself. You don’t want to skip Fiestas like this, but we’re in different times for sure,” Hansen said.
