Despite Swine Flu Scare, Texas Girl Claims Cinco de Mayo Title [Whatever That Means]

The H1N1 virus might have stolen Cinco de Mayo’s thunder but in a Texas town I’ve never heard of, some girl claimed the Miss Cinco de Mayo title during the weekend.

“Carmen Ramirez, a Hudson High School senior, was crowned Miss Cinco de Mayo on Saturday at a small gathering at Kiwanis Park.”

Now, I don’t know exactly what such a title is all about, since we never had anything remotely similar down in Mexico, but she seems happy enough and -if you asked me- free of any kind of killer influenza.

¡Sí, se puede!
