MILTON-FREEWATER
OBITUARIES
Double the fun with two Cinco de Mayo festivals

East Oregonian
With Cinco de Mayo just around the
corner, Milton-Freewater is doubling
the fun with two festivals.
Food, artwork, dancing, music and
more food is featured during Blessed by
the Sea: Cinco de Mayo Seafood Circus.
In addition, the Milton-Freewater
Downtown Alliance is hosting Cinco de
Mayo: A Community United.
The Seafood Circus, a 12-day
festival, kicked off Friday and continues
through Tuesday, May 10. It runs daily
from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The event is near
First Stop Mart at 85713 Highway 11,
Milton-Freewater.
Captain Johnny plans to reel people
in as he’s serving up ish tacos in cele-
bration of Cinco de Mayo. Also, people
can purchase ish products in bulk to
take home, and the Captain will be
handing out free buttons and posters to
the kids.
A Community United gets rolling
near the skate park Saturday, May
7 with a parade at 10 a.m. in down-
town Milton-Freewater. The festival
continues from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with
activities in the parking lot at Bethel
Baptist Church, 209 S.W. First Ave. The
soccer tournaments are being played
at Shockman Field, Central Middle
School.
The downtown alliance is in its fourth
year of organizing the event. Randy
Grant, executive director, said it’s a way
to bring the community together and to
celebrate its diverse population.
“And, it’s a lot of good food and a lot
of family fun,” Grant added.
The event includes food, games,
live music, kids’ activities, rafles, a
soccer tournament, contests for all ages,

DEATH NOTICES
Photo contributed by Milton-Freewater Downtown Alliance
The lags of the United States and Mexico are displayed during the 2015
Cinco de Mayo: A Community United parade in Milton-Freewater. This
year’s event is Saturday, May 7 with activities in several locations.
vendors and dancing horses. The horses
and their riders, Grant said, provide an
amazing performance with prancing,
bows and spins.
Also, the presentation of the Cinco
de Mayo royalty is at 2:30 p.m. and the
winners will be announced at 7:30 p.m.
Grant said the royalty pageant provides
several college scholarships to winners,
which are funded by the Milton-Free-
water Rotary Club.
And, the winner of the mother of
the year will be announced at 11:30
a.m. Each year, Grant said they receive
upwards of 150 nominations from
school children, who write touching
letters as to why their mom should
receive the award.
“Sometimes these stories just make
you cry,” he said. “It’s wonderful
to listen to children talk about their
mothers.”
Also, getting into the festive spirit,
the Milton-Freewater Public Library
is planning a special Cinco de Mayo
StoryTime & Crafts. Families are
encouraged to bring their kids to the
free event Tuesday at 6 p.m. at 8 S.W.
Eighth Ave.
