May 5: Fiesta until you Siesta

Five things you need to know today.

1. Thursday is Cinco de Mayo. Although traditionally a Mexican holiday, the day has found itself embedded in main-stream American culture, just like St. Patrick's Day or the Feast of San Gennero. So kick back and indulge in some chips and salsa or head to your favorite Mexican eatery to celebrate.

2. Merrick isn't missing out on the Cinco de Mayo events. Check out our weekend planner at 10 a.m. to see the holiday specials that are available to you right down the street.

3. The Merrick Library is hosting a board meeting at 7:30 p.m. Join in the meeting to get to know the board members or bring up any questions you may have.

4. In case you missed it: Blogs on Merrick Patch went live Wednesday. Read our very first blog from Candace Baltz-Smylie, a former city girl, about rural life in Kentucky.

5. Merrick Patch is still looking for more friends on Facebook. Refer your friends, because each week, one lucky Facebook fan can win a Patch prize by getting the page a new friend. Hurry, let's get to 1,000 soon.
