We had a great time at Cuba Nostalgia this year, signing autographs, doing cooking demonstrations, and meeting a lot of nice people! The three-day event is a celebration of all things Cuban.

Highlights of the show are the same every year – it's the music, baby!

There was plenty of singing, dancing, and a great party feeling. The mojitos and Cuban beer flowed freely and everyone was in a festive party mood.

We watched as thousands of tamales, empanadas, and tostones were eaten by the hungry crowds.

The artists are a big part of Cuba Nostalgia and people were snatching up original works and prints at a record clip.

We sold copies of our first book, "Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban," and promoted our second book, "Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban" as well.

Music and dancing – always a highlight of the show!

Paella and Pizza by Tony Mendoza.

Between December 1960 and October 1962, more than 14,000 children left Cuba as part of a mass exodus. Cuban parents who were fearful of the new Cuban government, sent the children away before they could be indoctrinated into the Communist Party. Named "Operation Pedro Pan" (Peter Pan), the Cuban Refugee Children's Program relocated Cuban youth to 30 states in the U.S.

About half of all children sent to the United States under this plan were united with relatives or friends. The rest were cared for by the Catholic Welfare Bureau.

Today, the Operation Pedro Pan Organization is trying to locate people who were sent out of Cuba under this program. Many children of the Unaccompanied Cuban Children's Program do not realize that the name "Pedro Pan" refers to them.

If you or someone you know was sent to the United States as a child during this period, please contact the Operation Pedro Pan Group. You can learn more about this important historical event, meet and reunite with those who shared your experience and be involved in helping needy children who are without parents today.

Operation Pedro Pan Group, Inc. is a National Charitable Organization, with members throughout the US and abroad. Visit their website for more information.
