Rain in Fountain Hills on Saturday! Much as we love the rain, it changes our plans for the Great Fair. Books don't do well with rain so we will be closed today but open tomorrow 10 am - 5 pm Sunday, Feb 23. Stop by and visit with Carolyn Mendoza, Delores Tomasek, Susan and Ennis.

Windy Friday kept blowing tablecloths, signs and papers!!

Conestoga wagon was the top choice of pioneers going west.

Deb Hester enjoys this restored Conestoga wagon.
It was not designed to ride in but to carry merchandise. The driver walked along side.

Surrey with the Fringe on Top: the fringe had a specific
function. It's movement kept the flies away.

Hubbard Museum of the American West

Susie Brinegar and Karen Overton at the entrance. Interesting
that this facility was a hockey rink in 1970.

Cathy Aimone Martin is dwarfed by the size of the horse

Greeting us as we approached the Hubbard Museum of the American West was this amazing installation of running horses.  Larger than life, we felt caught up in their movements. Another amazing stop of our Historical League tour of New Mexico.
