The First Thanksgiving celebration didn't take place with the pilgrims in the East, but right here in the Southwest. San Elizario hosts the First Thanksgiving celebration this year, and Louie Saenz talks with Juan Pereira of UTEP Opera and George Cordova, President of the El Paso Mission Trail Association, about their collaboration to present a unique celebration including zarzuela, historical re-enactments, music, and more.
