OGDEN — Car shows, artwork and dancing are some of the activities that will celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

In 1862, a ragtag group of Mexicans fought back the army of Napolean III, helping oust French occupiers from Mexican soil.

On the 150th anniversary of the famous battle, Latinos from diverse backgrounds in Utah — not just Mexicans — will use the day to share their culture with the community.

OGDEN -- Debbie Daniel was pleased when she had to add two extra computer classes to her community schools roster at Mount Ogden Junior High School.

There is also a waiting list for the computer classes. Daniel oversees the evening classes for the school's community schools program. The extra bonus for her has been the number of adults age 50 and older who are rapidly signing up for the classes.

She loves visiting with the group as they come to the classes, which are taught by the school's teachers.

She has one 87-year-old class member who loves to talk about what he has learned.
