Yanez, a 2008 United States Olympian and current Texas Super Flyweight Champion was honored at the "Celebration of Culture - 2009", presented by Mundo Latino. This year's theme was "Latino Sports Heroes" and an array of Latin sports figures had exhibits at the Hall of State. Our very own "Latin Legend" was among them. The shrine began on September 25th and was open to the public, 7 days a week until October 18th. Every Sunday during the fair, Yanez showed up, worked the mitts, shadow boxed, jumped rope then signed autographs for a large, appreciative crowd.
