Loreto Fest 2010

The Hidden Port Yacht Club extends a warm invitation to join us for the 14th Annual Loreto Fest.

The dates for this year:  April 30th, May 1st and 2nd.

Situated just south of Loreto in beautiful Puerto Escondido, this special three-day event just gets better every year.

Loreto Fest proceeds help support the higher education of students from our rural villages and mountain ranches.

Our Bay clean-up has been a proud tradition since the first Loreto Fest.

Our theme this year is “By the Sea”.

Plan ahead for a costumed dance.

Come as your favorite sea creature, Mermaid or “whatever” By the Sea.

If desired, membership in the club is a modest 200 pesos and includes a free spaghetti dinner and an incredible breakfast!

“Come find us” …. Loreto Fest 2010

“By the Sea”

What to look forward to!!!

Loreto Fest is rich with Entertainment and Great Company!

Special daily events for children and youth.

Ham Test, a prelude to the fest!  On Thursday, April 29, testing for the Technician General and Extra Class levels will be offered.  We plan to start testing at 10AM in the cruisers lounge of the Singlar building.  This is a great opportunity to expand the number of "nets" you can participate in and all it takes is a Ham license.  Now that the Morse code requirement had been removed, it is even easier to get your ticket.  If you have any questions or would like to sign up, email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A Silent Auction is also part of the fun.  All monies collected from the sale of this auction go to the education and support of our local schools in Ligui, San Javier & some University students.  There are a few items that may go to the sailing program.

We are asking for item donations to add to this year's Silent Auction.  Perhaps you will be making some snazzy jewelry, a painting, photo, shell art, boat stuff, or putting together a basket of snacks, wine, or ingredients to make a special meal.  Whatever it is, let your imagination go creative and wild!  We want to get everyone excited about participating in the Silent Auction.

Master Quilt Maker Patty Noyes has sent us this picture of her quilt that she will be donating to Loreto Fest 2010. Titled "By the sea... by the sea.." it will be entered into our silent auction for Loreto Fest 2010. Please keep in mind it is an unfinished project with a missing mystery square.  Also, the final arrangement of blocks may be slightly different than the photo.

All Loreto Fest silent auction participants have come to know Patty's superior quilt-making skill and look forward to another magnificent quilt.
