I have yet to figure out how I learn of events like this in mis suegros' town. They are hometown country type folks and don't frequent events short of family events or an exercise class. How do you learn of events in your area? Newspaper? I still don't even know where to buy a newspaper here. lol

Ahh, Claudine my advantage is that I live in San Miguel with a large ex-pat population and they publish a weekly english language newspaper to benefit the biblioteca and to provide scholarships for Mexican children. The Home Tour is also a part of the biblioteca and all that they earn goes to these scholarships too.

There are also a couple of Spanish language town newspapers which are not very good at all and the one from Celaya which is pretty good for the news.

Then I have my town observer, husband Ned, on his walks into town he checks the churches to see what events they are having and also checks out bulletin boards at the grocery and mail place.
