Market Day , the first Saturday in May, is an annual event, coinciding this year with Cinco de Mayo , which commemorates the defeat of the French army by the Mexicans at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, but is also celebrated in other parts of the country and in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. Free blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol screening will be provided. There will be a special emphasis on colon cancer.
Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women.
It is genetically determined, in part, and is THE cancer that we can impact most favorably through more extensive screening. Not only that, exercise and a proper diet may help prevent it.
