INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR Many of last weekend’s Crossover Louisville events focused on reaching the city’s diverse ethnic population. One of the largest gatherings was a Hispanic Festival at Iroquois Park where Carlos Mendez (above left), pastor of New Beginnings Church in Orlando, Fla., and Rose Dewever, a nurse from Washington, Mo., pray with a young Hispanic family at a blood pressure check booth. Also, at a nearby Iroquois neighborhood shopping center, organizers held an International Festival, where seven different people groups were represented. Many of them shared food and entertainment from their cultures. Festival coordinator Bill Mazey called Iroquois the most culturally diverse area in the city of Louisville.
