It’s the end of October, and that means the end of Hispanic Heritage Month and looking forward to Native American Heritage Month.
Ending Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month ended on Oct. 15, and ClickOrlando.com ended it with a few stories about Hispanic heritage in Central Florida!
Reporter Ezzy Castro spoke with OCSO sergeant Angel Cirino about recruiting Hispanic deputies and a free program OCSO offers to Spanish-speaking residents to give them an opportunity to learn more about the sheriff’s office at no cost. Read that story here!
Ezzy also outlined how she makes cafecito for her family and friends! The secret to a great cafecito is the espumita, according to Ezzy. You can find that recipe here.
