SUMMARY: Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture, but law enforcement reminds people to drink responsibly to avoid alcohol poisoning. The day commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France in 1862, but in the US, it is often celebrated with Mexican food and drinks. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott emphasizes the importance of knowing one's limitations when drinking, especially during events like Cinco de Mayo. He urges people to have a designated driver, watch out for friends, or call a cab to prevent accidents and DUIs. Alcohol poisoning is a real danger, and Scott's officers are actively monitoring the roads for excessive drinking.

The orchestra and chorus were established out of a need for a musical outlet, providing musicians with a platform to continue playing and performing music. The association aims to give individuals a chance to continue their musical experiences beyond high school, fostering a sense of community and enjoyment of music. The recent “On Broadway!” event marked the end of the season, with the next season scheduled to start in early fall.
