During this past weekend, El Pasoans visiting Art in the Park discovered the artistry and skilled craftsmanship of Newmanista, Stanley Esparza. Stan's beautiful crosses and sheet metal butterflies make perfect decorations for home and garden. Now retired, Mr. Esparza was a metal worker in El Paso. He is the father of Becky Friesenhahn, Vice President of the Newman Park Neighborhood Association.

Art in Park is sponsored by the City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department and is held each year at Memorial Park.
