2 RAMSEY COUNTY FAIR
The 106th annual Ramsey County Fair ...
A long-standing tradition!
Every family has its own traditions. Traditions
for celebrating the holidays, birthdays and special
events. County fairs have been a long-standing tradi-
tion in the community. Back in the day when towns
were not very large, county fairs emerged. It was
a time, after a long season of hard work, for com-
munity members to gather and celebrate with their
neighbors.
County fairs have evolved with the changing
times, adapting to changing communities. The
Ramsey County Fair, celebrating its 106th year, has
had its changes, but also realizes the value of tradi-
tions and has strived to keep as many traditions as
possible for families to pass along to future genera-
tions.
While many county fairs have had to start charg-
ing a fee for admission, Ramsey County remains
one of the few free admission fairs, charging only
a $3 parking fee — if you should park in the lot.
The Ramsey County Fair has also striven to include
affordable food vendors and amusement rides each
year making it a budget-friendly way for a family to
come and celebrate with its neighbors.
There is something for everyone at the fair: music,
entertainment, food, rides, 4-H displays, exhibits of file photo
The Ramsey County Fair midway is a great place to make memories with friends and family.

This year’s fair begins at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July
10, and closes at 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 14. The fair’s
“kickoff” — the White Bear Avenue parade, starts at
7 p.m. on Wednesday, beginning at Ivy Avenue and
traveling north to Aldrich Arena.
You can be part of the fair as well. Maybe you have
a family recipe that you love to make, or a work of
art, whether it’s something you have sewn, quilted,
knitted or painted. You never know, you just may
win that prestigious county fair blue ribbon. Do you
have a special talent? Be sure to enter the Ramsey
County Fair’s amateur talent contest — winners get
to compete in the State Fair competition. Or maybe
you would just enjoy sitting back and listening to
some good music in the shade, with a lemonade in
one hand and cotton candy in the other.
Kids — have you ever wanted to know what it’s
like to be a farmer? Check out the “Farmer for the
Day” exhibit or check out the activities presented by
the folks from Gibbs Farm Museum of Pioneer and
Dakotah Life.
Of course, you can’t beat the fun at the carnival
and midway.

Los Alegres Bailadores has been a foundational part of St. Paul’s West Side community for more than 40 years. The group, started by Becky Moran Cusick, teaches
kids and adults Mexican folkloric dances. The group, seen here below during the West Side’s Cinco de Mayo parade, will be performing at the Ramsey County Fair on
Sunday, July 14, at 12:30 p.m.

40-year tradition carries on through Los Alegres Bailadores

Mexican folkloric dance group
performing at Ramsey County Fair
Marjorie Otto
news editor
Becky Moran Cusick has practiced
traditional Mexican dance all her
life, starting out as a student and
now teaching others.
She established the Mexican folk-
loric dance group Los Alegres Baila-
dores — “the happy dancers” — in
1977, and today it remains a foun-
dational part of St. Paul’s West Side
community.
The group is performing at the
Ramsey County Fair on its last day,
Sunday, July 14.
Cusick, along with four other
maestras — teachers — work with
students as young as 3, all the way
through adults. She teaches out of
the West Side’s Our Lady Guada-
lupe Church, the same place her
aunt taught classes when she was
a kid.
Cusick learned Mexican folkloric
dances from her mother and that
aunt, who were born in Mexico.
As a teen, Cusick knew she wanted
to study more of it, and at 17 her
parents supported her to travel to
Mexico for a summer. There, she
studied at el Palacio de Bellas Arts
with Amalia Hernandez, in Mexico
City.
She learned from several teach-
ers that summer, but one in par-
ticular stood out: maestro Tizoc
Fuentes Yaco. Cusick enjoyed his
teaching style and at the end of her
first summer planned to return to
Mexico City in a few years’ time to
study with him again.
However, when she returned and
went to sign up for classes, she
learned he no longer taught there.
She was “crushed,” she says.
Cusick eventually learned from a
janitor at el Palacio that Yaco had
started his own dance studio a few
blocks away. She found it and spent
the rest of her career studying and
working with him.
When Cusick started her own
school in St. Paul, she and Yaco
worked together to create work-
shops where her students could
study with him in Mexico, and he
could come to Minnesota to teach.
Yaco’s wife also studied Mexican
folkloric dance, bringing an aca-

demic aspect to the dance classes.

For some 30 years, Cusick and
Yaco worked together doing work-
shops and creating opportunities for
her students to travel to Mexico.
Yaco passed away a year ago, but
one of his children, Zodoc, has con-
tinued his father and mother’s work
of teaching and researching Mexi-
can folkloric dance. He continues
to work with Cusick as well, just
recently wrapping up a group of
workshops.
Cusick says it’s fun working with
Zodoc, since she’s known him his
whole life and watched him grow
up.
“It’s a blessing he took up his par-
ents’ work.”

‘Show what Mexico

has to offer’
Los Alegres Bailadores reaches
across generations in more ways
than one — Cusick often teaches
children of former students and
has adult students who continue to
learn for decades. Today, Cusick has
anywhere from 80 to 100 students
enrolled in the group.
“It’s really touching to have stu-
dents come back and bring their
children,” she says.
Cusick says her students are what
make the group a success — from
the parents who support their chil-
dren and volunteer at events, to the
adults who come back year after
year to learn more, “without them it
wouldn’t have been what it is.”
While St. Paulites can be famil-
iar with Los Alegres, Cusick says
the group has been traveling more
widely to share its traditional Mex-
ican dances. This will be its third
or fourth time performing at the
Ramsey County Fair.
“I really believe people are now
interested in diversity,” Cusick says,
noting that in the past, it wasn’t as
easy to book shows and that viewers
were much more reserved.
Nowadays, the group’s schedule is
packed with performances at events
like St. Paul Saints baseball games,
Timberwolves games and soccer
matches. Cusick says viewers ask
all kinds of questions and that Los
Alegres Bailadores’ shows “just put
a smile on people’s faces.”
Dancers wear colorful outfits that
correspond to their dance and the

The dances and outfits shown by the dancers from Los Alegres Bailadores represent the traditions of Mexico’s 31 states.
Mexican state from which it comes,
something Cusick says is always
viewers’ favorite part.
“In Mexico, folkloric dances tell
s t o r i e s , ” s h e s ay s , p o i n t i n g o u t
it’s especially true for children’s
dances, with the movements imitat-
ing birds and other animals.
For older dancers, the perfor-

they’re more a representation of tra-
dition.
Mexico has 31 states, meaning
Cusick and her fellow maestras
teach a variety of dances. She says
