The Fifth Annual Manor Heritage Festival held April 27-28 provided a variety of music, great food from Ramos Restaurant, vendors selling a variety of items and business information booths promoting the services they provide.
The Chamber of Commerce sponsors the annual event to promote Manor, Manor ISD Fine Arts students and to provide free family entertainment.
