Rain and Running Washes in Southern Arizona & Sonoyta

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Sep 4, 2012 | Debbie Christofferson |

In Rocky Point last weekend, the weather turned a bit steamy as it always does in late July, and the breeze was anemic. But our beach front pool provided refreshment (and so did our air conditioning, and early morning deck perch!). Laguna Shores looked pretty busy with weekenders and summer vacationers, but less busy than 4th of July week. We stayed in this weekend and didn’t venture into town, except for Pemex gas on our way home (~$2.50/gallon). Sonoyta’s speed trap was in place when we entered the town, and someone was getting a ticket. Remember to slow down. Clear Sailing Through Lukeville Border

NEW RECORD

Posted by Rocky Point Times | Sep 4, 2012 | Tammy Hicks |

The CBSC 5th Annual Horseshoe Tournament was held on March 24, 2012! We MAXED out our Bracket Board with SIXTY-FOUR (64) teams, yes I said 64 teams!! Who could’ve predicted that turnout?! We thought Suzy was going to have a coronary keeping up with that many teams! However, she did an AMAZING job again this year! She had her faithful 3 (Frank, Art & Neil) for added support and help if needed. Billie worked her butt and legs off before the tournament getting everything done in Cholla Bay…Of course with the help of husband Mike. There is always so much pre-tournament “stuff” that needs to be done – someone has to do it, and Billie was right there doing it!! And during the tournament she was there to help wherever, and with whatever needed to be done.

Help Us Help Them

Good news on facility development! We are making good progress developing our expanded dog rescue facility. Thanks to some concerned and generous dog lovers, we have been able to purchase and have installed over 400 feet of good 8 ft. tall chain link fencing, enough to fence in the basic facility. We have lots of space for the facility and now have a master development plan.
