The Chapala government has changed the date for holding a public opinion survey concerning its plan to upgrade both sides of the stretch of highway running through the center of Ajijic.  

 Although three native runners from Chihuahua’s Sierra Tarahumara fell short of taking top honors at the August 13 Ultra Trail Campanaria mountain race, siblings Lorena, Juana and Mario Ramírez were the darlings of the Ajijic sporting event, capturing intense attention from fellow competitors, spectators and media reporters.

Jalisco’s Salvando Vidas (Saving Lives) campaign to keep drunk drivers off the road appeared in the lakeside area for the second weekend in a row, with checkpoints set up Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13 on the outskirts of Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos.

Three eminent Tarahumara runners are signed up to compete in the maximum challenge of Ajijic’s Ultra Trail Campanaria 2017, a three-pronged mountain race slated for Sunday, August 13.

Art, music, dance, literature and more are wrapped into six weeks of activities programmed for Sincrónico 2, Chapala’s second annual festival of contemporary arts.

Following a series of public meetings held throughout this week to familiarize Ajijic residents with plans to develop a biking path and sidewalks adjacent to the central highway, city hall officials are gearing up to conduct a formal public opinion poll, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, August 19.
