A woman tenderly kisses a statue of the Virgen de Guadalupe during the Fiesta de la Hispanidad, commemorating the coronation of the Virgen de Guadalupe as queen of the hispanic world at Hudson Valley Foie Gras in Ferndale, New York on October 11, 2008. The shrine of balloons and flower in honor of Mexico's patron saint was built inside the factory. Some of the workers and their families, practically all Mexican immigrants, live on the grounds of the factory in company provided housing; a small, isolated Mexican community flourishes in the Catskills.
