Let us Celebrate!

Let us Celebrate!

It’s Spring and Cinco de Mayo!  A perfect combination of celebrations.  Cinco de Mayo is a celebration created by Mexicans living in America in the late 1800s. Celebrated in America, but not much south of the border, it is in memory of the victory of a small Mexican army over a 3 times as large French colonial force.

Power into Spring
