“The crowd, packed in tight on the southeast corner of the Depot Theater and the Central Station Parking lot, gathered Saturday morning to celebrate the dedication of a sign recognizing the Mexican Village of Dodge City.

Some who were born and raised in the village attended the event, while the descendants of others acted as proxies for their loved ones.

Off to the side of the stage, a mariachi band’s songs echoed across the parking lot.”*
