Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of winning the Battle for Puebla. This battle is significant because it marks Mexico’s winning independence from the French. The French army was much larger, stronger and had far more advanced technology and equipment. Still, the Mexicans won the battle and stayed independent of the French. May we celebrate our own independent successes! Whoohoo!!
We shall celebrate with a potluck-style taco party. We will provide a ton of locally-made, non-GMO, unsalted corn chips, a huge stack of locally-made, all-natural flour and corn tortillas. But we need YOU to bring the fillings and dips. In order to make our fiesta grande, each person must sign up to bring a different taco filling.
