There are food and drink vendors, as well as snow cones and cotton candy. Games and activities include kite races, candy drops, bounce houses. We are proud to offer FREE ADMISSION to the hundreds of families from the surrounding area who attend this annual event, April 14th from 10 - 2 pm.

Had a great day on friday myself. Lots of buggy miles, followed by a couple miles in the water.

last I heard, Cinco is 5-12-12....10 yr wedding anniversary on the 11th...not sure at this time what the wifey want's to do.. I was thinking :puzzled: "hey honey lets go fly kites at Cinco" "on the way down we can stop at Jack in the box and you can have the extra two tacos for a buck" "Happy anniversary"
