Cinco de Mayo Celebrations Canceled due to the Swine Flu


Has the Swine Flu gone too far?

This weekend’s Cinco de Mayo Festival in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and the Ranchera Music Festival have been suspended amid growing concerns of a swine flu epidemic
.
Jaime Lucero, president of Casa Puebla and executive producer of the Cinco de Mayo Festival, cancelled the day-long event due to the potential risks that such a large gathering of people could entail.
“We have decided for prudence,” said Lucero. “We are not saying that the outbreak is something out of the ordinary, but given the circumstances it is better to have solidarity, as much with the
community here as with Mexico.”
This situation is getting out of hand. I guess there wont be any tequila shots. When NYC aint partying, we got a problem. lol
