CARNAVAL 2008 MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

By Jackie Peterson

Please note: Because of the change of municipal government, we were unable to verify the locations for some of these events, nor where the tickets will be sold. The continuation of the carnaval website of past years also was undecided. As any further information becomes available, we will try to post it on the Pacific Pearl website: www.pacificpearl.com   JANUARY 2 — 8:00 p.m., Registration for entries in Clemencia Isaura Poetry Contest and Lopez Saenz Painting Contest close  4 — 4:00 p.m., Pre-Carnaval manifestation through streets of Mazatlan 11  — 6:00 p.m., Final computation of votes for candidates, Plazuela Republica 12 — 7:00 p.m., Election of the Queens 15 — 11:00 a.m., Winner announced in Clemencia Isaura Poetry Contest 16 —  11:00 a.m., Winner of Mazatlan Prize for Literature announced   17 — 11:00 a.m., Results announced in Lopez Saenz Contest for Sinaloa painters 24
