Jan 2013 events in Rocky Point, Sonora, Mex

"Mermaids In The Park Expo" is a monthly event every 1st and 3rd Saturdays at the Shrimp Park located on the corner of Blvd Benito Juarez and Fremont.  The event is Free and everyone is welcome to come browse or purchase any of the artwork produced by local artists.  The 1st two photos are of unusual items made from wrought iron and stainless steel by artist Ricardo Monjaraz and his father.  He tells an interesting story of where he gets the raw material to design his works of beauty.  From raw materials he can produce almost anything you might want.  The 3rd photo is from a display of many photos by artist Tony Ballesteros.  He transforms these camera shot pictures into beautifully framed wall photos.  You have to see these to believe the color and depth of the item he shoots.  Both artists are just a couple of the many talented people who display their work at the Expo in the Park.  When in Rocky Point, a short 4 hr. drive from Phoenix or Tucson, AZ, you don't want to miss coming to this event.  What a wonderful way for the entire family to spend on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Family Fun Fish Rocky Point, Sonora, Mex

Fun for the whole family regardless of age or fishing skills.  The Sea of Cortez presents ideal conditions for fish to follow and migrate year after year.  During December, with cooler water, there is an abundant amount of fish out there a short 10 miles off shore.  A variety of fish are attracted to this specific area known as Rocky Point, Sonora, Mex.  Some of those reasons are  good weather, calm, protected seas and many crevices (reefs) just a short distance off shore.  And lets don't forget sunny, warm days.  Fish like Cochi, Calico and Rock Bass, to name a few, are real fighters making them fun to catch.  A day of fishing is a great way to spend the holidays.
