Mazatlan Real Estate Offers Art and Entertainment for Everyone: an Overview of Summer 2009

Mazatlan real estate always has the benefit of being in a city rich in culture. During the early summer of 2009, Mazatlan has offered many events - from art exhibitions to dance shows and classical music to a thriving night life.
One example of Mazatlan's cultural events is a presentation called "Mazatlan, Memories of my Country," performed by the "Danza Téllez" dance school. The presentation was delivered in the Ángela Peralta Theater, where the students of the academy gave the public a beautiful show of attractive choreography. The audience could sense the flavor of the sea, mixed with the fantasy of Carnaval and traditional regional music. The show lasted for two hours, giving a tropical and festive atmosphere, including birds, shrimp, sirens (the sea witches), sea gulls, dolphins, confetti and light shows. Various parts of Mazatlan were included - The Three Islands, The "Malécon", the Historic Downtown. The presentation was divided into four parts; Mazatlan's history, the greatness of its people, its traditions, and its beauty and spirit. The quality of the dance reflected the professionalism and hard work of the academy's students and its teachers, Doris Aguilar, Viviana González, Tania Cerrillo, Yayita Huerta, Malika Alanís, Yolanda Campos y Laura Téllez, the principal of the academy.
The Municipal School of Ballet also presented 12 works, including "Alice in Wonderland," "The Wizard of Oz," "The Umbrella Ladies," "The Mexican Nightingale" and the well loved Mexican Cri Cri. These projects were brought about by the inspiration, imagination and leadership of Zoila Fernandez, who received training the Cuban School of Ballet. Fernandez says that she firmly believes that Mazatlan has a public which can truly appreciate high quality dance.
Among other dance performances there are also selections from the repertoire of the Russian Ballet. Also in the performance arts, Mazatlan offered a rendition of the "Merry Widow" operetta, concerts by the Youth String Ensemble from Mazatlán Center for the Arts, and by Mazatlán Youth Symphony Orchestra. Finally, Mazatlan's IV Youth Festival included nightly concerts at 8:00 p.m.
Mazatlan is also a city which is rich in visual arts. This summer has seen the opening of an exhibition of paintings by Arody Garcia, and inauguration of expositions by Durango artists and paintings & sculptures by Manuel Salas & Salvador Salas.
While Mazatlan real estate offers plenty of high culture, there is also plenty of room for pop culture, especially in the world of music. Regardless of your taste in music - pop, hip-hop, rock, salsa, merengue, trova, flamenco, mariachi, or, Mazatlan's distinct contribution to Mexico's musical traditions, live "banda sinaloense" - Mazatlan's night life offers something for everyone.

Local residents sell collectibles at Treasure Hunters Roadshow

Kathy Schweer doesn’t consider herself an expert in selling collectibles.

But on Wednesday she was trying to sell several valued items at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow at the Super 8 in Cape Girardeau.
While she didn’t sell her silver coins or toothpick holders like she had hoped, the Cape Girardeau resident received $35 for a chain purse.

“I got more out of it than I thought I would,” said Schweer, who had never sold items at a similar show before. “I’ve had it for several years, and when I saw the ad in the paper for the roadshow, I thought this would be a could time to see how much I could get for it.”

Since 1996, the Treasure Hunters Roadshow has visited more than 600 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. At each show local residents bring their antiques and collectibles to learn an associate’s estimate of its worth. If the seller agrees to sell the item to the associate, the item is then shipped to private collectors or its corporate office in Athens, Ill.

“Our goal is for people to leave with a check,” said show manager Doug Feese. “With it being so close to Christmas, we hope to see a lot of people and put a lot of money back into the local economy.”

During the show’s opening day Tuesday, Feese and his team of four from Athens saw about 60 customers. The potential sellers brought gold, jewelry, silver coins dated before 1965, military swords and a 1957 Gibson guitar. The guitar sold for $17,000.

Feese said his company is looking for old collectibles to purchase. Those include various types of coins, paper money printed before 1934, gold coins, investment gold, scrap gold, jewelry, platinum, silver, war items, guns, trains, toys, advertisements and other older items.

“If it’s older items like those, then there’s a good chance they’ll get an offer and leave with some money,” Feese said.

Since Feese joined the company, he has traveled to cities throughout the Midwest. Among the communities he has visited are Sikeston, Mo., Owensboro, Ky., Indianapolis, Madison, Wis., and Rockford, Ill. His team is off until January, when its next road show begins in Mason, Mo.

“There’s nothing more fun than to go to a new town and meet new people,” Feese said. “I always enjoying hearing their stories.”

Some of his favorite stories include an elderly gentlemen at an Indiana show who sold a jewelry box for $4,200 so he could pay bills from his wife’s funeral and a single mom at a Michigan show who used money from gold coins she sold to pay for her child’s braces.

“Those are the kind of stories that I get to hear from folks who sell their items,” Feese said. “At every show it seems like we hear an inspiring story.”

The Treasure Hunters Roadshow continues through Saturday. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
