And from a special insert advertising Medellin’s Santafe C.C.:

Forever 21 just opened a store here.  (I had just sent my daughter a Forever 21 gift card for her birthday.)  

There is an advertisement for bumper cars and an ice rink.  A picture shows an ice rink with about 2/3 for ice skating and 1/3 for bumper cars.  They also advertise ideas for the prom so I guess one of the 2 school sessions is coming to a close.
