No Cinco de Mayo Celebration in Monrovia This Year

On its Facebook page, the Monrovia Cinco de Mayo Association announced: "The 2013 Monrovia Cinco de Mayo event has been CANCELLED! This is an official notice and there is NO reschedule date. Thanks for your interest!!"

According to Jennifer McLain, at the Monrovia City Hall, the city's involvement in last year's event was limited to issuing street closures. She said she does not know why this year's event was cancelled, but "What I do know is that at the March 13 MOTAB [Monrovia Old Town Advisory Board] meeting, Rudy Castrellon announced his resignation from the Cinco de Mayo Association.

Castrellon was president of the association and very involved with previous Monrovia Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
