Hola, MÁS Magazine readers:

So the summer is winding down — just a few weeks before the niños head back to school. But if they're bored by now, that might be a good thing — right, parents out there? Hope you and your familia will be able to enjoy one more summertime getaway, hopefully to some cool destination!

But if you're going to be home this weekend, be sure to look for the August 2009 issue of MÁS in The Bakersfield Californian, our parent company, Sunday, Aug. 2. If you subscribe to the paper, that's great — your MÁS will be inserted into your Sunday edition.

If you don't take the paper, don't worry, you can still find MÁS in single-sale copies and at our various rack locations. For a list of where to find our racks, select the "rack locations" tab located on our home page, click here.

And now, we'd like to give you a sneak preview of what you'll find in the August 2009 issue of MÁS.
