SPTC celebrates mothers with a grand Mother's Day Extravaganza!

While the love is there year-round, on the second Sunday of May, mothers around the world are shown extra love and care and attention. Mother’s Day is a huge celebration, and in San Pedro, an annual gala is held by the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) to spread love to the mommies of our San Pedro community. Every year, mothers look forward to an evening of entertainment, dinner, laughter, drinks, prizes and surprises.

This year, Yolanda Ayuso was crowned Mother of the Year 2011-2012.The smiling Miss Carnaval and Miss Chiquitita Gabby Knox-Alexander greeted mothers at the entrance with a red rose.
Games throughout the night included locating a hidden star under the chairs. Mothers happily obliged by looking for the star...

SP mothers enjoy a night of fun and laughter

Every year, The San Pedro Town Council puts on a fabulous show for mothers across the island, complete with a comedian/singer/actor to entertain on stage. They are fed a delicious meal and treated to ice cold drinks throughout the night. Young volunteers help out with serving all the lovely mothers who come out for a good time. This year was no exception, as Angel Velasquez, "El Tauch" and company, from Merida, Yucatan, kept the good times rolling. Saturday night (May 8) saw hundreds of mothers seated at the old football field (Saca Chispas), taking in the show and enjoying a night of fun and revelry. At the end of the evening, as is traditionally done, the 2010 Mother of the Year was announced. Taking the title this year was Mrs. Leonor Trejo.

Tauch kept the crowd roaring with laughter with his irreverent jokes. Audience participation is a must, and always brings big smiles...

Mothers delighted in the show, which was a blend of naughty and nice, and kept them laughing through the night.

The stage was filled with music, dance, special routines, and at times the act would hit the audience, as The Mask did...
