They can find out Jan. 19
at the Mexicali Expo, an event slated for 12:15 to 3 p.m. at the Yuma
Civic & Convention Center, 1440 W. Desert Hill Drive.
The expo will feature
music and folkloric dances presentations by performing artists from
Mexicali's House of Culture and a rodeo demonstration by members of the
Cachanilla Charros Association from Algodones.
Representatives from the
Mexicali Tourism and Convention Committee and Baja California's
hospitality industry will be on hand to answer questions about tourism
attractions in Mexicali and San Felipe and about medical services
available in Mexicali and Algodones.
The tourism committee comes to Yuma annually to stage the expo.
"This is a very important
event for us," said Patricia Hernandez, the committee's promotions and
information manager. "It's a chance to promote the attraction of the
city, both in tourism and in medical tourism.
"Because of our proximity
to the Imperial Valley, we receive a lot of visitors from El Centro and
Calexico, but we want to offer this opportunity for Yuma residents to
get to know us."
The expo is free and open
to the public. For more information about the event, call the Yuma
Civic & Convention Center, 373-5040, or the Yuma Visitors Bureau,
376-0100.
