Cheryl was in Ohio on May 5, 2008 (Cinco de Mayo), and she woke up singing: "It's Cinco de Mayo in hmmm hmmm Ohio," and decided she needed to find a town in Ohio that would fit in the song. She ended up picking "Mingo, Ohio."
Cheryl then decided to learn more about Mingo, Ohio. She searched the web and found one house in Mingo. She then looked for various stores, but couldn't find anything. She then went back and checked the house, and it wasn't in Mingo either.
This song is a little ditty about this experience. You can watch a live version of Mingo Ohio on YouTube.

- Cheryl Wheeler
- It's Cinco de Mayo in Mingo, Ohio
- Northeast of Dayton an hour or so
- All I could find in an hour on line
- Is one house for sale, so I'm not gonna go
- There isn't a restaurant or a hotel
- No movies, no schoolhouse, no grocery as well
- The business is farming
- It would be alarming
- Were that not the case
- In so quiet a place
- Right now it's sunny there, 60 and clear
- Regarded as balmy for this time of year
- I got back on line gave the house one more try
- It's not EVEN IN Mingo, but some town nearby
- So on Cinco de Mayo in Mingo, Ohio
- It's all old MacDonald
