October, and things are getting downright beautiful here in Peñasco. October in Mexico is “Dia de Los Muertos” time (Day of the Dead, for you gringos), but for expats and legionnaires alike, it’s Halloween time. The post is celebrating that “spooky” theme by holding a “Funniest Costume” party on the 31st, just before Karaoke begins. Come on over and enjoy the fun. Of course, the usual diversions at the post are still available; Bingo, Karaoke, and Pool (both swimming and billiards!) are ongoing. The kitchen is hopping too, providing great meals at very reasonable prices and, as always, the beer is cold, and your favorite cocktails are too!
The Legion Riders want you to know that we will be hosting a barbecue event for the upcoming Rocky Point Rally (the largest motorcycle rally in all of Mexico!) on Friday, November 7th from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, chips and soft drinks are on the menu and if you, or anybody you know, attended one of our previous barbecues, you’ll know the food is great too! If you are planning to attend the rally or just be in town during that holiday (Veterans’ Day) weekend, please stop by and say hello!
Remember, too, that the Legion provides mail service from Lukeville to Peñasco on a weekly basis. The service is the cheapest in town at $20.00 a month, $60.00 a quarter, and a free month for an annual subscription. Also, there is a $10 per package charge for items too large to fit in your mailbox.
You can watch all the football you can stand with three screens…and an ocean view at the post, too! So, if you’re in town, stop by the post for a cold one and enjoy the camaraderie that our post is famous for! Remember, you do not have to be a veteran or an American Legion Member to enjoy the post! We hope to see you there!
