Visiting Dog Back!

This dog has returned after a week of wondering Volcancito!  We saw a missing dog poster posted at the bakery downtown after the dog left our home.  We didn't record the phone number but we remember that the dog's name is "Archie".  Please, if you know the owner of Archie, please contact them and give them our contact information:  BubbaHamm@aol.com, home phone 720-3830, cell number 6573-8589.  Thanks in advance!

There is a large brindle colored male dog with a white face and chest visiting the Volcancito area.  He is wearing a brown leather collar, has a great disposition, is lovable, well behaved, and appears to be healthy and well fed!

He has been here a few days. If you are missing this dog please come pick him up! He eats a lot!

Be Safe, Be Happy

Air horns at the Tuesday market

Reply To:	Alto al Crimen <info@altoalcrimen.org>

At long last, a new shipment of BOAT HORNS has arrived and will be available at the Tuesday market. 

They are available for a $20 donation to Fundacion Alto al Crimen. 

After the market they will be available at the Bistro restaurant in downtown Boquete.

For those of you who are not familiar with the boat horn, we use them as a personal defense and panic alarm device. In case of an intruder, they can by simply held out of a window and blasted, which will wake up everyone for a half mile around. They are cheap, never make false alarms and  in the event of a confrontation, can be used like pepper spray to severely disrupt an attacker. We recommend keeping a can by your bedside for fast response to an emergency.  We also recommend that you show it to your neighbors, let them know what it sounds like and make a plan for them to - at least - call the Boquete Hot Line if they hear the alarm.

2nd Annual "ReAL Boquete" Cornhole Tournament has been scheduled

Reply-To:	Tracy and Andy Hallen <athallen@yahoo.com>

Last year we had almost 60 teams compete in a double elimination tournament for the honor of being the Boquete champion.  And although only the first and second place teams earned prizes, everyone, and I mean everyone, had a great time.  If you were there, you know what I mean.  And if you missed it last year, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMaXjI6x128 to see what I am talking about.

 

The format and location for this 2nd event will be identical to the one held last year.  Here are the details:

 

Location:  Gimnasio El Cacho, which is located in Bajo Boquete behind the Terpel gas station, which is on the left side of the main road if you are heading toward David.

 

Format:  Double elimination tournament with every team being composed of 2 players.

 

Date and time:  June 24, 2012.  The gym will open for sign in and practice at 11 a.m., with  competitive play starting promptly at 11:30.

 

Cost:  $20/team  -  covers team entry fee and lunch (hot dog and soft drink or beer for each player). 

If you don't want to compete, but would like to witness the action, spectators will be granted entry to the gym of just $1. 

 

Prizes:  The top 2 teams will win gift certificates to "The Rock" restaurant.

 

And importantly, all of the proceeds from this event will go to support "ReAL Boquete", a non profit group dedicated to protecting the environment by promoting effective waste management practices.  This includes collecting and distributing recyclable materials, so they don't end up in our streets or landfill, and working with the local schools to teach our youth about the value and process of recycling.

 

Tickets will go on sale in a couple of weeks.  In the meantime, be sure to mark your calender for Sunday, June 24th.  You don't want to miss this Boquete classic.

 

 

 Andy

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
