August 2006 Pictures and News
From Santa Rosalia BCS
"Bombero Celabration"
5TH ANNUAL CALORON
THE SANTA ROSALIA BOMBEROS SPONSOR A YEARLY DANCE DURING AUGUST CALLED THE
"CALORON"
LORENA, MY FRIEND, AND I DROVE THE TRUCK WITH THE “GOODS” FROM THE LAS CASITAS HOTEL TO THE PLAYA.
TO SET UP FOR THIS CELABRATION, IT US TAKES SEVERAL DAYS AT THE PLAYA PLUS PREPWORK BEFORE.
WE CONTRACTED A BAND FROM THE PACIFIC.
THE EVENT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!!
IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING SUPPORT THE SANTA ROSALIA FIRE DEPARTMENT, YOU CAN PURCHASE A
"CALORON"
T-SHIRT FOR $10 (U.S.)
"CALORON"
MEANS HOT.
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 90'S AND HUMIDITY IN THE 70% RANGE
"CALORON"
IS A PERFECT NAME.
EVERYONE WORKS HARD FOR THE EVENT.
IT’S OUR BIGGEST MONEY RAISER FOR THE YEAR.
THE CARGO WAS NEARLY 300 CASES OF TECATE AND TECATE LIGHT.
WE DID ADD A FEW CASES OF SODA POP AND WATER, JUST IN CASE.
WE HAD VISIONS OF HEADING FARTHER SOUTH BUT OUR CONSCIENCE MADE US TURN AT THE SAN LUCIANO TURN-OFF.
THEY CAME FROM THE TOWN OF GUERRERO NEGRO, BCS.
THEY WERE GREAT!!!
THEY PLAYED A VARIETY OF MUSIC.
DANCING WENT ON TILL 3 AM.
LORENA, OUR WORKERS, AND MYSELF FINALLY MADE IT HOME AT 5 AM.
EVERYONE HAD FUN!!!
WE THINK WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER PARTY NEXT YEAR.
I HAVE THEM AT THE LAS CASITA'S HOTEL OFFICE.
STOP BY ON YOUR WAY DOWN.
THANKS A BUNCH
