WCCO Television Covers Cinco de Mayo Celebration at The Waters of White Bear Lake

   WCCO Television in Minneapolis covered the Cinco de Mayo celebration in the parking lot of The Waters of White Bear Lake on May 5. There were lots of smiles at the first big community celebration in over a year.

   The parking lot transformed into a festival grounds of sorts to celebrate both Cinco de Mayo (which commemorates the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862) and the end of COVID restrictions.

  Now that nearly everyone who lives at, or works in the senior living community in the East Metro has now been fully vaccinated against COVID 19, guests are once again being allowed to visit the community, and plans are in the works to resume offsite trips. In addition, programming is finally on the cusp of returning to what many would consider to be “normal.”
