Why not build a Pinata empire in Laredo?

Bob Esponja- Donde esta el Squidward?

It seems that hardly anything is manufactured in Laredo anymore, maybe with the exception of candles. That begged the question, why can Laredo not be the empire for something, anything? How about the city capitalizing on a truly Mexican tradition; pinatas? I would love to see the economic development people look into the feasibility of making Laredo the mecca for those party favorites.

 I'm sure we have the natural resources in abundance (what does it take: newspaper, pastes, carrizo ?). We probably have a handful of artisans who could train others. Before you know it, Laredo could apply Henry Ford's assembly line approach and be turning out Pinatas galore. Furthermore, we already have the transportation connections for the entire country. With the current mascot craze, there would never be a shortage of characters for the artisans to produce. From where I stand, it's a win-win situation. Batter up!
