Fiesta 2009
King Antonio LXXXVII receives his public investiture by Fiesta officials in front of the Alamo April 18. The investiture is one of the longest-standing Fiesta traditions; King Antonio is selected each year from the ranks of the Texas Cavaliers, a patriotic and civic organization. During his reign, King Antonio visits schools throughout the city, hospitals, nursing homes, businesses and military bases. (U.S. Air Force photo/Alan Boedeker)
