Tequila Blue/526 Main donate proceeds from a Cinco de Mayo celebration to the ROOTS foundation to enrich the quality of life in Royal Oak.
A downtown bar presented a big check to Royal Oak Opportunity to Serve (ROOTS) at Monday night's City Commission meeting.

Saturday is Cinco de Mayo but on Friday afternoon one gets a sense of the celebration to come.
A quick drive around downtown Royal Oak and one wonders if we shouldn't rename it Mexico City for the weekend. There are tents set up, margarita glasses waiting to be filled, Jacque's Taco and El Guapo food trucks are parked at the farmers market and Maya and Miquel have been spotted posing for pictures. Here's a reminder of what's happening this weekend: 4-9 p.m. Friday The Royal Oak Farmers Market, along with Camp Casey and PBS television are set to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a Mexican Fiesta Family Celebration at the market on Friday.

'Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and vitamin B6,' Beaumont dietitian Silvia Veri said.
You can almost taste the tacos and smell the spicy salsa just thinking about Cinco de Mayo, a day many will celebrate Mexican heritage and culture. But you don’t have to be Mexican to participate in festivities or to enjoy the delicious food. On this day, Americans will use 81 million pounds of avocados in their Cinco de Mayo meals – that is 162 million individual pieces of this delicious green fruit, according to the California Avocado Commission. Guacamole, made predominantly of avocados, is a popular food people eat on this cheerful holiday. “Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and vitamin B6,” said Silvia Veri, a registered dietitian and nutrition supervisor at Royal Oak Beaumont’s Weight …

City Commissioners approve a special event permit as the Mexican day of celebration grows in Royal Oak.
Add Fifth Avenue to the list of Royal Oak establishments hosting a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Calling himself a copycat philanthropist, Anthony Yezbick, manager of Fifth Avenue, said when he learned Tequila Blue was hosting a May 5 party to raise money for Royal Oak Opportunity to Serve (ROOTS) he wanted his bar to be involved. “Candidly, we pay attention to what’s going on,” Yezbick said. “We thought it’s a really good idea what’s going on May 5 and we wanted to participate and make a positive contribution.” Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. But north of the border, it is celebrated with much more fervor north of the border with fiestas. City …
