Mariachi Tierra Mia performs at Rosewood, against a backdrop of spring green. The Cinco de Mayo celebration gave everyone who came out to hear the musicians and participate an opportunity to set aside fears and stress of life in the time of coronavirus, and celebrate not only Cinco de Mayo, but the sense of community that makes life in the canyon special.
