Listen as event organizers discuss some of what's planned for this lively and vibrant one day event! In this podcast you’ll hear some behind the scenes discussions on who The OptiMystics are, what they’ve done, and of course even more about Cinco de Mayo. As well, how The OptiMystics Citizen Action Network is connecting people and creating community and how you can become a part of this grass roots non-profit celebrating and enhancing our vibrant and diverse City of Monte Vista!
