Join Cinco de Mayo Celebration in Great Bend

The bandshell at the Jack Kilby Square in Great Bend has been reserved for a special Cinco de Mayo celebration from noon to 1:00 PM on Wednesday, May 5th.  A special group of dancers from Great Bend High School will perform. Following their performance, ten ESL students from Barton County Academy will share the “Real Story of the Pinata.”  There will be pinata treats for those who attend. There will also be a StoryWalk set up featuring the book, “The Talking Vegetables.” Story boards will be placed near the band shell for pre-schoolers and their parents to read during the festivities.

We are fortunate to have an opportunity to learn more about the culture from our south of the border friends. I’m looking forward to having you join us at Jack Kilby Square on the 5th!
