Cinco de Mayo

The 5 de Mayo is a Mexican national holiday. On May 5th, 1862, cannons boomed and rifle shots rang out as the French soldiers attacked two Mexican forts. Before the day was over, one fort was in ruins and more than a thousand French soldiers were dead. The Mexicans had won the battle, but not the war. Yet, this date was established as symbolic of the Mexicans' courage against a formidable army.

Everyone likes a fiesta - so put on your party clothes and get ready to explore the roots of Hispanic culture / drink Corona and eat a Taco!!!
