This Weekend Rundown sponsored by RPRMexico – Home of the Sonoran Spa & Sonoran Sea Resorts
March! In like a lion they say… our lions this weekend can be found at the Municipal Gym where they’ll host the inaugural tournament of the Sonoran Wheelchair Basketball League. Viva Los Rolling Rockies! On a side note, given ongoing roadwork along Blvd. Benito Juarez the best way to get to the gym is along Ave. Zobarzo (straight down from Ley Express) on the north side of Maricopa housing community.
March brings along with it Spring, Spring Break, and yes Spring Breakers…so let’s get right to it and run down the weekend and take a look at what’s coming up:
