Scottsdale ArtFest features League books

We have a booth at Scottsdale ArtFest Nov 19-20 downtown by the library. The Historical League will be selling Tastes & Treasures cookbook, Arizona Recollections and Reflections, Centennial aprons, hats and visors.

Join us and enjoy all the wonderful arts and crafts booths from 10 am - 5 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Carolyn Mendoza has volunteers lined up to help her with sales - Pam Ryan, Bonnie Newhoff, Sharron McKinney, Nina Fillipi, Pat Faur, Lindy Isacksen, Margaret Pogue, Delores Tomasek and Judy Blackwell. Our volunteers are the best.

Scottsdale ArtFest 2009

Scottsdale’s annual ArtFest is always a good venue for the League to sell cookbooks, and it helps League coffers even more because the organization waives the rental fee. Last weekend (11/21 & 22) Carolyn Mendoza and her assistants Mariamne Moore, Lindy Isacksen, Margaret Pogue, Brigitte Warnke and Joan Robinson-Blumit sold 67 books, 2 adult aprons, 1 junior size and 1 child size. Ruth Ann and Phil Hogan assisted in breakdown of our booth on Sunday.

Carolyn’s batch of Tastes & Treasures granola (recipe page 196) was a big hit and I’d say it convinced more than one shopper to make a purchase. Displaying the photo of El Chorro Lodge’s sticky buns (recipe page 78) also attracted visitors to the League’s booth.
