Junior League
The Junior League of Guadalajara raised lots of money last Saturday as dozens of women ran in seven-inch heels over a course at Plaza Galerias in a bid to win a new car. This was the second Carrera de Tacones and, amazingly, no one needed medical attention!

A host of items for all pets will be on sale too.
The show is on Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13 at Expo Guadalajara (Mariano Otero and Avenida las Rosas) from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Pets enter free but there will be a small charge for adult humans.
Rocks
A grand private collection of 2,400 rocks – worth an estimated 156,588 dollars – was handed over recently to Guadalajara city hall. Now 320 of these pieces are on display in a new pavilion mounted at the Guadalajara Paleontology Museum. The collection originates from five continents.
The Guadalajara Paleontology Museum opened in 2000 and has on display the fossils of diverse prehistoric animals found in Jalisco. Its founder, Federico Solorzano Barreto, is credited for discovering the remains of one of the first prehistoric humans in Jalisco.
Opening hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. The museum is located at Av. Dr. R. Michel 520.
