Memorial Park — Attraction in El Paso

Today my family rented the Memorial Park private area for a Labor Day weekend family celebration. While we had been renting the Grandville Park city shelter for over 20 years, we decided to try an outdoor venue. Although it started to rain in the early afternoon, it turned out to be a beautiful day!
