MEXICANTOWN has taken a long backseat to Detroit's famed Greektown, but is finally beginning to come into its own with promo- tional endeavor. Its Mexicantown Fiesta '91, weekend of June 21, 22, 23 is set for Bagley and 21st, two blocks north of the Am- bassador Bridge, highlighted by a traditional Mexican charreada, the colorful pageant of singing charros (Mexican cowboys), women's side saddle team, roping ex- hibitions, a mariachi band and folkloric dance troupe .. . four two-hour shows will be narrated in both English and Spanish . . . and the first time a charreada has ever taken place within 1,000 miles of Detroit. There'll be an admission charge for the charreada, but the festival is free . . . in- cluding a mercado adjacent to the new Fiesta Gardens plaza featuring Hispanic artists, imported goods, ethnic food and a children's activity center. A lot of camera clickers ... even one who took some until discovering that she never removed the cap. Local and community per- formers will provide free entertainment throughout the festival. That new Fiesta Gardens courtyard plaza, by the way, will mark the first phase of the re-birth of the Bagley Street commercial district. LOOKING BACK on col- umns of yesteryears .. . NOV. 2, 1956 . . . "An employee at his furniture store was getting married and invited Rube Katz and his wife Ida . . . When the date came they took their little daughter Jeanne along and are happy to say she acted like a perfect lady, not saying a word . . . except for one in- stance . . . While sitting in the church watching the wed- ding, she suddenly exclaimed, `Mommy, has the lady chang- ed her mind?' . . . Ida asked what she meant, and little Jeanne replied, 'Well, she went up the aisle with one man and came back with another.' " ❑ Tent Og.

The 35th annual donor lun- cheon by sisterhood of Con- gregation Beth Shalom in Oak Park was another showcase for Leah Marks and a good fast-moving fashion show. It was again evident that metropolitan Detroit is not only unsung for its galaxy of good restaurants . . . but styles, too . . . They were presented in well-paced coor- dination by beautifully-poised models wearing John Darak- jian jewelry, clothes from Eleganza, Leotards Et Cetera, Valentina and Your Image . . . with makeup by Malibu and hair by Belissima Too. People didn't realize that they were seeing a "first" in Leah Marks productions .. . It didn't start off with dancing . . . The clever beginning had a gardener theme with gent pouring "water" from a can to wake up the flowering models. Hats look to be in . . . but as far as I'm concerned, most of those being shown today should be out . . . They hide the face too much . . . Nothing like pretty models with pret- ty smiles . . . It does so much for the fashion they're showing. Captain Rik Jagger, 98.3 F.M. d.j., did a fine job with his clever and humorous banter before and during the show.

Music was with a nice soft beat . . . and a long runway with "wings" for the well- moving models to whirl and walk with enthusiasm.
