Final preparations are underway for today's big Cinco de Mayo outdoor party in downtown Bend from 4:30 to ten p.m. Live music and food from Amalia's should satisfy every customer. And some of the proceeds will go toward the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Oregon. “We're trying to help the community as much as we can by bringing business downtown and supporting community groups as well. That was a lot of the reason behind the Cinco de Mayo celebration.” Organizers expect thousands of people to head downtown for the party.
