Happy Cinco De Mayo and Aspenites: go and vote!

Today marks two significant events in our Valley: Cinco De Mayo and the Spring election in Aspen.

Cinco De Mayo in the Valley likely means celebrations at homes and in restaurants--That's possibly more than what Mexicans in their home country might experience. The Washington Post reports, due to the Swine Flu, the Mexican Embassy canceled the mariachis that were booked for its Cinco de Mayo celebration and no margaritas will be served, just wine. So to those living in the Roaring Fork Valley, enjoy your freedom and exercise it too. Go and vote if you live in Aspen. The polls are open from 7AM to 7PM and three issues are on the line: a new mayor, two new Council members, and a question on whether or not to sell City land to the Aspen Art Museum. If you're unsure where to vote, contact the City Clerk's office. Now, I'm going to go vote!
