Seneca City Council Approves Co-Sponsorship Of First Ever Cinco de Mayo Event
(Senea, SC)———–Last night, Seneca City Council approved $3,000 from the Hospitality and Accommodations Tax Fund to co-sponsor, along with the Seneca Downtown Merchants Association, the first ever Cinco de Mayo event in downtown Seneca on Saturday, May 4th from 5pm until 9pm.
Ray Murphy, who is President of the Downtown Merchants Association, was a guest, along with City Events Coordinator Riley Johnson, on the Coffee Time program this morning and he comments on the upcoming event.
Murphy says that the event was put together rather quickly even though there had been some previous preliminary discussions. Murphy said the city looked over the proposal from the Downtown Merchants Association and agreed it would be a good event for the city of Seneca and the event is moving forward.
Murphy is hoping that the event will be a great outreach from the city of Seneca to the Hispanic and Latino community.
The May Cruizin’ On Main event will also be going on at the same time from 4pm until 7pm that night.
Also, City Council approved to spend $2,500 from the Hospitality and Accommodations Tax Fund to book the beach group The Occasions for the upcoming 4th of July event. The Wobblers will also be performing at that event and there will be a fireworks show as well on that Thursday night.
