Councilman Nick Flores, with Roberto and Hilda Trujillo coordinated this year Cinco de Mayo event in Wendover.  There were 16 vendors that sold various items from food, drinks, cloths, and toys.  They also made sure there was a live band, “Grupo Desafio” and a DJ,  “DJ Star”.

       There were two mexican folkloric groups from Elko, one of them were the  “ Ballet Mexican” (we don’t know the second group at press time) and another group of rhythmic dancers “Tastuanes”. Nick Flores says:”There was a great turn out, people came from Salt Lake City, Wendover and Elko which made the event a great success”. Everybody had fun, and locals at the end of the day volunteered to help clean up.

The Zapateria is now Alison’s JG Store.
