The Spanish Department at Central Lakes College hosted a Hispanic culture immersion day, Super Sabado, which included creating treats associated with Mexico's Nov. 1 All Saints Day and Nov. 2 Day of the Dead. Among the 40 guests were Terry McLean of Nisswa (left) and Lynn Hunt of Pequot Lakes. They made sugar skulls and later participated in a Chilean skit about creation called "La Creacion del Mundo Segun Los Mapuches." Participants sampled cultural elements from Bolivia, Uruguay, and other Latin American countries.
