The main purpose of this year's event is to have a good time, rather than to raise money. And the money that is raised will go into a general fund for West Siders, or to the separate organizations, instead of just to Lincoln Park projects. Leo Rodriguez, director of the West Side Action Center, is general chairman of the fiesta.
