Since pretty much nobody knows the history of Cinco De Mayo, we thought we would help you out. Cinco De Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the Mexican army's victory against French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is not Mexico's independence day. Have a safe and happy Cinco!

Check out the article & what do you think?  www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2010/03/05-07/Lifelike-drunk-driving-ads-target-bar-patrons.html heather Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:38:35 -0500 http://www.barsannapolis.com/blog/27-lifelike-drunk-driving-ads http://www.barsannapolis.com/blog/27-lifelike-drunk-driving-ads Looking for something fun to do this weekend?  Celebrate St. Patty's Day a little early & join us at the Green Beer Races in Eastport!
