210 La\u00a0Chismosa<\/a> social media platform, which has more than half a million followers, insists her yet-to-be-named event is not associated with Fiesta, although it will take place during the same period of time.<\/p>\n“We’re not here to compete with anyone,” she said. “We’re just trying to fill a void of what’s missing.”<\/p>\n
Filling that void, she explained, includes creating an affordable, family-friendly event.<\/p>\n
“We want to keep prices reasonable,” she said. “If we can charge vendors a quarter of what they were paying during Fiesta, they can charge people a quarter of the price they used to charge.”<\/p>\n
“People were like, ‘Why isn’t it happening?'” she said. “And I thought, how hard could it be? Let’s put it together and make it happen.”<\/p>\n
Ch\u00e1vez said she expects the event to take place over two nights and hopes to have more details, including a name for the event and a working website, by Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We already have some names we’re discussing, but we don’t want to announce it until we’re 100% sure,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ch\u00e1vez is also recruiting volunteers as well as sponsors to help fund the $200,000 she estimated the event will cost.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I lost a son and, even though it wasn’t to cancer, I know what those parents are going through,” she said. “If I can help these families by hosting this event, it would help fill a void in my heart.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of San Antonio’s biggest online influencers has announced she will be hosting a brand new, Fiesta-style party…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-451331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
