You’ve probably seen at least one API photo coverage of those recent rad rages called Color Runs (or Toma Color in Spanish) where hundreds of runners get doused in puffs of brightly colored, harmless, powder as they run or walk or dance past stations set up for that specific purpose, on their way through a 5k course. They are usually held to raise money for a charitable cause. Popular in the U.S. for the last couple of years, they’ve now extended to most of the world including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.
Recently, a group of friends, all young business entrepreneurs here in Puerto Peñasco, put their altruistic heads together for a way to help expedite final stages of the DIF Hemodialysis Center project headed by First Lady Rafaela Félix de Figueroa. They wanted something fun that would appeal to all ages thus maximizing the potential number of participants in the event. They went with the Toma Color concept since it is catching on so fast throughout the Latin American countries. This creative group could not have made a better decision.

We’ve written about Brother’s Pizza and CS Supply. Now we get to write about both of them together as Carlos and Michelle Hopkins of CS Supply have taken over the management of Brother’s Pizza. They were the perfect couple to take on this endeavor since they sold most of the equipment to build the kitchen and bar in the beginning. So, it was only natural that when Bob Rabicoff found out he had to relocate to a different climate for health reasons, he and wife, Penny approached…

When Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers come to Rocky Point in January, they come to jam! That’s what we’ve come to expect and that’s exactly what they deliver—and then some!

There are still a limited number of seats available on a first come, first served basis.
Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers have created a January tradition in Rocky Point that started in 2008 when they played some new songs for a small crowd of their loyal fans at JJ’s Cantina in Cholla Bay.

2013 transposed to 2014 with so many good things going on in our little slice of paradise by the sea that a couple more stories are in order to bring summary substance to the diversity of good people who perpetuate fulfillment of the many needs of Rocky Point’s poor.
Our first story is about the group of 70 or so LDS faithful from Mesa, Arizona’s Ray 2nd Ward Mormon Church who love Mexico, Puerto Peñasco and its people in particular. Though most had been enjoying the tranquil ambiance and mesmerizing natural beauty of the beach, the sea and surrounding desert for years, it was six years ago when they figured out ways they could help the locals they’d come to appreciate so much.
