Wednesday, May 6, 2015

Members of the Elmore County Hispanic Organization's dance group perform during this year's Cinco de Mayo celebration Saturday afternoon in Carl Miller Park. People from Mountain Home, Glenns Ferry and other communities gathered to celebrate the Hispanic culture throughout the afternoon.

Youngsters with the Glenns Ferry Bialables stepped off the stage to perform the pineapple dance.

Antonio Moyette sings the national anthem of Mexico as the celebration officially began. During opening remarks, Mayor Tom Rist applauded the rich diversity of the Mountain Home community, which comes together to provide celebrations like Cinco de Mayo. The mayor credited the efforts of ECHO, which invested a considerable amount of time to make the celebration so successful.
