Greetings 4,171 online El Sayulero readers,

Its that time of year again. Sayulita Days! I guess you know you've been around Sayulita for a little while when the carnies call you out by name when passing their set-up area inside the ball field. This weekend through Tuesday night (the Big Night) are truly some of my favorite days of the year in Sayulita. The whole town celebrates and takes a breather during the high-season in order to dress up and let loose. I have been told by locals that on the 24th, you can really see who is married to who in Sayulita because ALL the husbands have to take their wives to the rodeo/carnival/concert. See you all there!

Que su tiempo de año nuevo. Dias del Sayulita! Supongo que usted sabe que ha estado alrededor de Sayulita por un tiempo cuando el trabajadores del carnival llamarlo por su nombre al pasar la configuración interior del beis. Este fin de semana a través de la noche del martes (el Noche Grande) son realmente algunos de mis días favoritos del año en Sayulita. Todo el pueblo celebra y tomarse un respiro durante la temporada alta con el fin de vestir y dejar suelto. Me han dicho por parte de los lugareños que el 24, usted puede realmente ver que está casado con quien en Sayulita, ya que en TODOS los esposos han de tener a sus esposas para el rodeo / carnaval / concierto. Nos vemos allí!

Hope you enjoy the articles below,

Sayulita Days!

Sayulita Days are here! The annual Sayulita fair opens this weekend and the town is expecting many visitors over the next week. The baseball field is full of rides and fair games now and is opened to the public starting Friday, February 20th. Most of the vendors located on the streets around the baseball park are set up and opened February 19th. Jesus Castro, a vendor who has been coming to the Sayulita Days fair for the last 20 years said this year he is hoping the road work at the entrance of Sayulita doesn't create traffic problems and parking issues with people coming to the fair and visiting Sayulita during this busy time.

Visitors in the area can expect to hear some noise at night with bands playing and dances happening at the entrance to town and in the ballpark. There will also be a parade on Tuesday February 24th and the crowning of the "Queen of Sayulita" will take place. Cockfights will be held Sat-Tues starting at 4:00PM on the Punta Mita Hwy and Calle Libertad. All in all it is a fun time of year to be in Sayulita and join in the festivities. The fairground will close next Friday February 27th and the fair vendors will start packing up next Saturday February 28th.

Los días de Sayulita

¡Los días de Sayulita ya llegaron! La feria anual empiece este fin de semana y el pueblo esta esperando muchos visitantes durante la próxima semana. El campo de béisbol esta lleno de juegos de la feria y abren al público el viernes 20 de febrero. La mayoría de los vendedores en el tianguis ubicado en las calles alrededor del campo de béisbol ya están listos y van a abrir para el día 19 de Febrero. Jesús Castro, un vendedor que tienen 20 anos viniendo a la feria de Sayulita dice que espera que la construcción en la calle entrando a Sayulita no cause problemas con trafico ni problemas con estacionamiento durante esta época en que va a haber mucha gente visitando Sayulita y la feria.
Visitantes en el area pueden esperar escuchar un poco de ruido en las noches con las bandas tocando y los bailes que van a haber.

Fishing Derby Results

Eight panga fishing boats entered the first annual Sayulita Grande Pescado fishing competition. This year was a dorado (mahi-mahi) competition held on Valentine's Day.   After a 6:30 a.m. captains meeting, the boats were launched and prepped for the 7a.m start. At five minutes to sevn the chaos began as teams scrambled. Four boats took off at the gun! The others got off the line a few moments later.

Team La Jolla Captained by Felix Cadena helmed to victory. His prize winning crew consisted of Sebastian "El Chileano", Fabian, Gustavo Dobler, and Victor Lopez "Nemo".   The winners were awarded a giant Jack Pot of 10,400 pesos! The city of Sayulita was also a huge winner with $5,600 pesos going into a fund set up by our local judge, Noe. Please contact him for details.

All in all, it was a great turnout.   We would also like to give a special shout out to "Big Tuna" who made the voyage from Punta de Mita for the chance to win.

By unanimous decision, next year's St. Valentine's Day Dorado Classic is on!!

Exito con Fishing Derby

Ocho pangas de pesca entraron el primer anual competición de Grande Pescado en Sayulita. Este ano fue un concurso de dorado el día de San Valentín. Después de una cita con los capitanes, las lanchas se botaron y se prepararon para el comienzo a las 7:00 de la mañana. A los 5 para las 7:00am el caos empezó y los equipos andaban a la rebatiña. ¡4 lanchas se botaron al disparo! Fue espectacular verlo. Las otras lanchas salieron un poco tarde, pero todo estuvo bien.

El equipo La Jolla con el capitán Felix Cadena estuvo al timón de ganar la victoria. El equipo ganador consistía de Sebastian "El Chileno", Fabian, Gustavo Dobler, y Victor Lopez "Nemo". Los ganadores se llevaron el premio de 10,400 pesos. El pueblo de Sayulita también salio ganador con 5,600 pesos que van para un fondo organizado por Noe. Favor de contactarlo por más detalles.

En general muchos acudieron a ver el concurso. Nos gustaría darle a "Big Tuna" un saludo quien hizo viaje de Punta De Mita para la oportunidad de ganar.

Por una decisión unánime el concurso de dorado en día de San Valentín es seguro para el próximo año. Gracias a todos.
