It's that time again for the Paella Festival in Rosarito. The date is September 4th at 2PM and this time it will be to benefit Pasitos http://www.pasitos.org/home_i/index.asp wich is an educational center that helps families with children with Autism. 100% of all ticket sales and
sponsorship moneys will be for this cause so I hope you can attend.
Last years paella festival was great http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=47205#pid5458... and this year will be even better.

Had a great time last year and it is on the calendar for this year as well-lots of improvements made to the hotel area since last September.

I'll see you there!

We were able to make it last year. FDT put on a fantastic event. If you make it, make sure to let FDT know you're either going ahead of time, or at
least stop by and say hello to him at the event.

Since I am down here until October Fernando my wife and I will attend. We will say hello to you when we see you there. Always up for helping out with
making the lives of kids a little better, just as many other nomads are. Looking forward to you Xmas toy drive again also. You make the lives of many
kids happier and ask for nothing in return---That is what being a "True Baja Nomad" is all about! Take Care & Travel Safe----- "No Hurry, No

Wow, looks like a great event. Would love to be there, but we will be on vacation during this time. Maybe next year. Love this kind of Baja stuff!
And, if Ferna is involved, it's gotta be good!

It is a great event, with food, wine, beer, music, lots of music, live music, great live music.
Did I mention music?
yes, I'm involved, very involved, I kind of created the event last year in order to promote another type of event in Rosarito besides tacos and beer.
I'll tell you the whole story later.
Last year was particularly great because of the people that showed up for it, some very special people like my very good friend Doug and family, among
others......
It is a great event.
Bajafun777 - 8-18-2011 at 07:14 AM
Fernando, do you pay at the door to attend or need to reserve a table? Additionally, are they selling things there to raise these monies or are
people just donating during the event? Did not see a price on the flyer for entry into the event but maybe I just overlooked it somewhere what is the
ticket price? Take Care & Travel Safe--- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

Looking forward to paella and wine today.

Fernando, I had friends unexpected friends come in and their wish list took me off in another direction today, so I hope that your fundraiser was
successful. I helped with a funraiser yesterday at the community I stay in for X-mas gifts for kids this year. Sorry, I was unable to attend as it
looked good but maybe next year. I will still be giving gifts for your X-mas fundraiser as always this year, as I love to see the happy faces of those
children receiving gifts. Take Care & Travel Safe--- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777
