This week’s Rundown sponsored by John & Kathy Witt
Every now and then there are weekends where everything seems to be going on in town. Perhaps it’s the drop in humidity, the beginning of Fall, or the desire to invent a long weekend somewhere between Mexican Independence Day and AZ Fall Break – whatever it is, this is such a weekend. Plan wisely as there’s lots to do in Puerto Peñasco, and you best have your energy up for Saturday! Yes, it’s time to run down the weekend!
