Carnival Troupes Parade Celebrates Arts Festival - To celebrate 15 years of the "Todos Santos Arts Festival," the organizing committee is preparing, among other interesting activities, a carnival troupes parade to be held at noon Sunday, Feb. 5, starting from Pedrajo street (At the gateway to Los Cabos) and ending in the public square for a 4-hours-of-fun show.

Among those invited to participate are drummers, stilt walkers, fire performers, jugglers, cheerleaders and the like, and any person or group who is willing to dress in fantasy costumes to dance and join the fun and joy. Dulce Chávez, circus performer, and Borut Bucinel, creative producer and performer from Slovenia, will lead the project. For more information call Heriberto Parra Hake at 612-117-3945 or write hparra@prodigy.net.mx.  Also, you can call Dulce Chávez at 612-156-5652 or write her at amayaum@gmail.com  - Heriberto Parra Hake, hparra@prodigy.net.mx , 612-117-3945, Todos Santos
=====================================

Hola Compadres! Please note that we can no longer allow people to bring their dogs to Smokey's any longer. In the past, our policy has been to allow dogs on the outside patio only. However due to many factors too numerous to mention here we can no longer welcome dogs on the premises. While we remain committed animal lovers, we must ask that you leave your much loved dogs at home when you visit Smokey's. The same policy shall apply to cats, pot-bellied pigs, horses, cows, bisons, snakes, racoons, as well as parrots and other fowl. Our failure to mention any other particular pet or animal under one's care shall not preclude said animal's exclusion from the premises. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
========================================

BOTOX PARTY date has changed !! Due to conflict with Lord of the Wind contest, the botox party has been rescheduled for January the 21st. Please email me if you would like to reserve an appointment. Kelly kwmx3@yahoo.com   Drastically reduce wrinkles and take years away!!
==============================

I am still (or maybe I should say always) looking for old used greeting cards. Any kind will do - anything from Birthday, Get Well, Sympathy, Thank You, Valentines to Christmas cards. If you have any taking up some space somewhere PLEASE don;t throw them out. I will recycle them into something new. It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Debbie Taylor 141-0803
==================================

Chris Llewellyn will be  speaking at Rotary Wednesday morning, December 7TH, 8 AM at Palmas de Cortes. The public is invited to attend. Chris will be available to sign your copies if he hasn't already at either event.

Does anyone know of any discount stores around? Even second hand/thrift stores? Are there any dollar-type stores? We don't mind driving to Cabo or elsewhere.
Thanks for any help, Tracey kaivalyapada@gmail.com

My name is Elizabeth. I am new to the BPE, but a longtime fan of the Baja! I want to travel to San Jose del Cabo in late December or early January.

I am flexible about my departure date-- give me a call or send me and email and we can discuss. I'd like to get to Cabo by Jan 3rd if possible.

The Asociación de Artes is having their art show, featuring local artists, at Colina Sol on    December 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Food and beverages will be available and everyone attending gets a free raffle ticket for some art items.

Directions:  Take the road north, go over both arroyos.  Bear to the left and keep on the paved road.
Turn left into the Colina del Sol development.  I am guessing there will be signs.  Go straight and you'll see the festivities.

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

Look for the latest Elizabeth Pudwill oil paintings at the Dec 11 Colina del Sol Art Fair.

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

Find Annette's MANGO JAM and MANGO CHUTNEY.
Place your orders early to be collected at the Art Festival. iikaiser@frii.com
Annette's RAKU CONCHAS, made of Clay will be on display.
DIRECTIONS to Colina del Sol, in Los Barriles. Travel on the paved road to El Cardinal. After 4+- km, turn left onto the paved road towards Colina del Sol ( sign posted) and follow the signs into the development and to the Community center.

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

Author C.E. Llewellyn has a limited supply of his newly released book, "Birds We See in Baja California Sur, Mexico" that will be available at the Asociación de Artes Fair in Colina del Sol on December 11. This book is a photographic journey of the Birds We See in the estuaries, arroyos and seashores of Los Cabos and the East Cape region of Baja. It contains more than 185 original photographs of some of the many birds that live here or stop over during annual migrations. The book will make an excellent Christmas gift for that special someone, young, old, female or male.
