(WFRV) – A group of travelers from Green Bay is stranded in Puerto Vallarta after violent clashes tied to a major drug cartel have shut down roads across western Mexico.
Officials from a local Green Bay-based business, Lenny’s Tap, told local five that they make a trip, inviting friends, customers, and family every year, the week after the Super Bowl, for what they call a “winter break.”
This year, they say 33 people signed up, with about 30 of them being from Green Bay. As they attempted to reach the airport to return home, violence erupted, roads were blocked, and their bus was stopped, forcing the group safely back to their resort where they will stay until there is a safe window to travel home.
