Mary Poppins Smashing Success

Wonderful new event for the Historical League with all attending smiling throughout the day. The performance was uplifting, great staging effects, singing and dancing. Children and adults alike enjoyed the day with plenty of refreshments, socializing, raffle items and Holiday Cheer! Kudos to Anne Lupica and her committee!

Touring Clarkdale

So much to see and only one day to take in all the sights: Copper Art Museum, scenic drives, delicious lunch at the Tavern Grill and a stop at Page Springs Cellars Winery. Even a rescue ride on a school bus. Thanks to tour guides Lindy Isacksen and Linda Fritsch for another fun-filled day learning about Arizona.
