Volunteers Connie Lines (seated from left), Josephine Arredondo and Judy Simon help make cascarones. Practically year-round, volunteers from the San Antonio Conservation Society spend their time on making cascarones and crepe paper flower decorations for Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA). On Thursday, Apr. 19, 2012, a group of volunteers arrived at Steves Homestead in King William to finish the last batches of cascarones and flowers for the start of the 2012 Fiesta season. Around 75 volunteers collectively made nearly 200,000 cascarones and over 12,000 paper flowers. The eggs are sold at NIOSA with proceeds going to the Conservation Society and their mission of historic preservation. The group which consists mostly women enjoyed chatting and shared a brunch while while they worked on the eggs and flowers. Kin Man Hui/Express-News.
