Offbeat - Feliz Cinco de Mayo! (Los Duckies)
Los Duckies de Mayo de Seattle Oeste want to set the historical record straight about Cinco de Mayo AND give you some heavy smiles! Muchas sonrisas! (Offbeat)
The Lulu Duckies shown in these photographs have entertained neighbors, friends and visitors for over four years. They get all ducked up for every holiday! (Offbeat)

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's unexpected defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. (Offbeat)
A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day. Mexico's Independence Day is actually September 16 which is the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.
Viva la Puebla! Viva la California! Viva los Duckies! (Offbeat)
