A WARNING TO OUR ADVERTISERS:
There are some low characters who respond to
classified ads with an offer to purchase advertised
items with a check in excess of the listed price.
The idea is to trick an advertiser into sending them
their change before the advertiser realizes the
"cashier's check" or "certified check" is a fake.
These creatures use computers to generate many
e-mail messages a day. Our readers and advertisers
are too smart for this ploy, but we suggest you
invite them to send you the check immediately via
Federal Express at the highest rate.

MUSIC FESTIVAL

COSTA
RICA BLUES FESTIVAL
The Costa Rica Blues
Festival is
one of the country's most recognized
cultural music events, an annual
celebration that has evolved over the
years while staying true to its core
mission: bringing world-class blues to
Costa Rica, supporting charitable causes,
and creating a warm, welcoming space for
community and culture.
The
festival was born in Escazú in 2008, where
it introduced many local music lovers to
international blues talent. As it grew,
the event moved to Guanacaste, attracting
a new audience and expanding its impact
with larger outdoor productions and
continued support from the expat
community. Now, for its special 10th
Anniversary edition, the festival returns
closer to San José, taking place in
Grecia, reaffirming its commitment to
accessibility, cultural sharing, and
community engagement.
This
year's anniversary lineup promises to be
one of the most exciting in the festival's
history. The stage will shine with the
powerful and soulful voice of Terrie
Odabie, the high-energy showmanship of JC
Smith, the raw harmonica-driven blues of
Mikey Junior, the electrifying guitar
fireworks of Tommy Z, and the tight,
modern Texas blues of Sparky Parker.
Joining them are many more exceptional
musicians from both the United States and
Costa Rica, creating a truly unforgettable
all-day musical experience. Their presence
ensures a dynamic blend of blues styles,
from classic to contemporary, inviting
audiences of all ages to dance, enjoy, and
immerse themselves in the rhythm.
Throughout
its history, the festival has consistently
featured acclaimed blues artists from
abroad alongside talented Costa Rican
musicians, offering a full-day musical
journey from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The
event includes
nonstop live music, dancing, great
food and drinks, and a friendly atmosphere
that draws
both locals and the large expat population
living in
the Central Valley.
A
defining element of the Costa Rica Blues
Festival has always been its dedication to
giving back. Over the years, proceeds have
supported local charities, community
programs, and cultural initiatives,
solidifying its reputation as a
celebration with heart and purpose.
This
year's edition will be held at Club Campestre Griego
in Grecia, an
ideal venue thanks to its spacious green
areas, plentiful parking, swimming pool,
family-friendly layout, and the excellent
February weather that makes outdoor events
especially enjoyable. The relaxed,
open-air setting enhances the festival's
trademark vibe: warm, vibrant, and deeply
connected to Costa Rica's natural beauty.
With
a decade-long legacy, the Costa Rica Blues
Festival remains a cultural highlight,
uniting music lovers, families, and expats
for a day of blues, community, and
celebration.

The Road
to Rio Magnolia
"The Road to Rio Magnolia" recounts the true
story of a couple who left their engineering
careers in Toronto to move deep into the
Costa Rican rainforest, where they
established and operated a luxury ecolodge.
The journey began with building a road
through the mountains, constructing a lodge
in the middle of nowhere, and creating a
micro-hydro system to produce the
electricity needed to keep the whole place
running. Over 13 years, they entertained a
steady flow of guests, faced relentless
challenges from nature, and still found joy
in their surroundings. Their light-hearted
anecdotes capture the ups and downs of life
with colorful clients, lovable locals, and
eccentric expats.

By V.L. Stuart
He was constrained by amulets forged with
dark magic.
Her bow freed him; her spells healed him.
When she binds herself to him as his
apprentice, they begin a journey that will
lead to places – and dangers – that neither
could have imagined.

Orb and Arrow:
Exploration
It takes readers on an adventure to the world
of Darae where magic is real – and dangerous.
Twenty-two-year-old Brillar was expected to
follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a
healer, but headstrong and impetuous, she has
other plans. Now a highly skilled archer,
she’s forced to kill to free a Mage being held
captive in enchanted chains. She has no good
alternatives if she is to rescue the wounded
man, but that is no excuse for a healer.
Releasing a Master War Mage from bondage,
however, could get Brillar killed . . . or
apprenticed. When Master Elden insists on the
latter, Brillar embarks on a journey not of
her making. When it ends badly, she insists on
taking on the exploration of the Wild, where a
new and more dangerous quest awaits.
