As a child, did you ever have an aunt whose home you always loved to visit, not for a a big family thing, but because you could “explore” the timeless treasures that adorned every inch of space throughout her palace of furnishings, knick-knacks and paintings? Surprise would be the order of the day as you discovered new, really cool stuff during each visit. Elegant doilies decorated every flat surface, lamps abounded, all with colorful ruffles, tables bloomed with centerpieces announcing the current season, bedspreads bright with scenes that inevitably set your imagination into orbit and sent you running back shrieking, “Auntie, auntie!” followed by an eruption of exclamations about all that had captured your fascination.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself revisiting those same memories upon entering Donna Peckenpaugh’s Segunda This and That in Old Port…

The largest, longest running (16 consecutive years)—and, arguably, the most fun—Día de la Santa Cruz celebration here in Puerto Peñasco is the one held on the next street north behind the Fifth Avenue shops, also known as the Cholla Mall shops, and other endearing names, called Barrio or Colonia Obrera.

This year, the Duckies will be racing on Sunday June the 8th, purposely timed for the same weekend of Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus Concert so more folks can have a chance to purchase Duckies for the race. Remember that 100% of all the funds collected for Rubber Ducky entries will go toward this year’s goals, which are divided between: 1.) To provide emergency back-up funds for transportation to out of town doctor’s appointments for people in need, and 2.) To provide travel expenses for the kids who qualify for the Paralympics this year.
