Estrada and his puppet Maclovio spread laughter and a message of kindness to children and parents across the state for decades.
Ignacio"Nacho" Estrada was beloved for his messaged of positivity he spread while entertaining children in schools across Texas and Mexico.
Mr. Morgan kept looking for the voice, assuming it was their boss. Estrada, still making his voice sound far away, and tricking Morgan in his story, says, “I’m in the restroom, I need toilet paper.” So much so he applied and was accepted to be a clown – but not just any clown. Estrada trained to be one of the most famous clowns in pop culture, Ronald McDonald. He is said to be the first Latino Ronald McDonald in the state of Texas.
“There’s a gentleman ahead of us going through the metal detector and all of a sudden you hear it go off – BEEP BEEP BEEP. So he has to go back and take his belt off. And then I realized it was Nacho making the sound effects. I said ‘Nacho stop it. Just stop it right now,’” Melendrez laughs. Nacho’s message of kindness and positivity to go with the laughs struck a chord with his audience. While the 80s and 90s had the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, known as D.A.R.E. in schools, many – but especially South Texas schools – also had Nacho Estrada.
