SAN ANTONIO ART FESTIVAL THIS SUNDAY 12/6/09

a. On my way back from La Paz today, I stopped in San Antonio. There is a big banner at the Pemex and the square is full of pop-up sun shades for booths. So my conclusion is there is an Art Fair Sunday.
Plus, thank you to the several people who wrote in confirming the Festival. Cheryl

b. YES the Art Festival will be held this Sunday starting at 9am. We have approximately 35-40 exhibitors including 9 separate food booths. There will also be a horse race and a puppet show on the only life size puppet stage in Baja.
Kathy, Asociacion de Artes.

c. YES! there is an Art Festival and show at San Antonio this Sunday. There will also be a show and sale at Colina Del Sol on the 13Th. from 10 to 3; we are hoping to have Oscar the "Veggie Man" there also. Hopefully, he will have copes of his recipe's to hand out.

=======================

The Government has decided that anyone wishing to pay for right of usage for the Federal Zone in front of their property must now pay for general usage and not protection and ornamentation. This means the annual fee will be three times that what you were paying and really gain no benefits as it is still titled irregular usage. They now have you between a rock and a hard place! My suggestion is in order to protect your frontage you’ll have to obtain the outright beach concession which is good for 15 years and can be obtained for protection and ornamentation therefore your annual fee will be the same as it’s been with the usage permit. The one drawback is the concession will probably run between $3500.00 to $4500.00 dollars depending on the Bank holding your fidei. This is of course a one time payment and is good for 15 years although you DO have to make the annual payments calculated on your frontage every year.  If you decide to go the way of the concession the I suggest you.
