Arizona caught my eye, and my heart, many years ago. I love it ... it's people, history and it's desert.

Tucson, Meet Yourself
A busy weekend. Hilda had a Legion Auxiliary meeting at 1000, there was a car / motorcycle /low rider show at American Legion Post 7 at noon on Saturday, Tucson Meet Yourself Festival all weekend downtown at Presidio Park and other spots downtown. All varied types of ethnic food booths and music/dancing ranging from Scot to Greek to Chinese to Spanish and many others in between. This is a festival started years ago by an old friend of mine (and everyone's) Tucson Folklorist/Historian "Big" Jim Griffith. It was originally about all the various ethnic cuisines in Tucson and in it's history ... it was called Tucson Eat Yourself and has grown to encompass the many customs, music and food from all our ethnic groups ... great fun.
