Here’s What’s Happening in Tucson This Weekend!

Fri 3/8 - Sun 3/10

The importance of exercise as we age is unquestionable.  It almost doesn’t matter what the routine is, as long as you stick with it.  Getting bored with walking?  Head to the Tohono Chul Pollination Path, or try the Sonoran Desert Museum with over 2 miles of walking paths, or check out the Tucson Botanical Garden with over 5 acres of paths and gardens to view.  You can head downtown and walk the Presidio Turquoise Trail for 2 miles.  Or be different and take up The Tango!  See how it’s done this weekend at The International Tango Festival at Casino Del Sol. 

This weekend the AZ Jazz Week features the saxophone.  Soloists and groups will perform, and free classes will be held.  Never underestimate the power of the saxophone.  It won the election for our 42nd president of the US.

Do you wonder what the future will be like?  Get a sneak preview by heading to The Tucson Convention Center today for the SARSEF Future Innovators Night tonight starting at 5:30pm.  See 50 exhibits from tomorrow scientists, leaders and inventors.  From smelly sneakers to beating Alzheimer’s see the list of last year’s winners here.     

Take in a show!  Starting tomorrow you can plan to see American Mariachi at AZ Theatre Company, a comedic play featuring the unthinkable; an all-female mariachi band being formed in the ’70s.  Or go back to the ’50s while listening to The Glenn Miller Orchestra at the Fox this Sunday night.

On the sports scene, the season is winding down so take advantage of seeing the Tucson Roadrunners play on home ice tonight and tomorrow. Only 8 more home games to go.  Speaking of sports, you can be part of history and see the first home game of The Tucson Sugar Skulls of the Indoor Football League, as they take on the Bismarck Bucks.  While today’s top NFL players earn in excess of $10M per year, the average IFL players earn $200 per game.  On a field roughly half the size of an NFL field, 8 players per side attempt to score points with touchdowns, field goals, point after kicks, point after dropkicks, and rouges! What? Welcome to a whole new type of football.   

If you’re out in the east area this weekend, stop by our open house at 2080 N Tanque Verde Loop and say hi.  Regardless of your plans, have a great weekend everyone.  And, as always, please let us know if we can be of any help to you or someone you know.

Here’s What’s Happening in Tucson This Weekend!

Fri 2/28 - Sun 3/1

Happy Friday Everyone!

 Since this is a leap year, tomorrow is your leap day! Why not look at it as having an extra 24 extra hours to do something special for yourself or someone you know.  Some sun but cooler temperatures means it's nice outdoor weather, again!

If you're out and about in the Sabino area this weekend stop by our Open House at 3512 North Calle Vistosa and say hi! Whatever your plans are this weekend, enjoy! As always, please let us know if we can be of help to you or someone you know.

Warm Regards...Ann, Ron, and Corilynn

Baseball under the lights at Hi Corbett Field tonight at 6 PM, as the UofA Wildcats take on Central Michigan in a revenge game after losing to them in the top of the 10th inning on Wednesday. Let's Play Ball!

If you need your sports to move a bit quicker than baseball, you can watch the UofA Hockey team take on our intrastate rivals Arizona State tonight and tomorrow night at the Tucson Arena. Go Wildcats! 

All weekend long you see the 'Best Musical of the 20th Century' as declared by Time Magazine by getting tickets for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Tony Award Winning Musical, 'Carousel', at The Berger Performing Arts Center.

Tomorrow morning support Special Olympics Athletes as they take the Tucson Polar Plunge at the Highland Vista Park pool. You can plunge with them and/or support their cause with a donation. I'm sure there will be warm towels waiting for you after your swim!

Three final days of competition until some lucky golf pro gets to put on the gold Conquistador helmet at the Cologuard Classic this weekend. You can still get tickets for the tournament, including the military appreciation concert starring Lee Brice on Saturday night.

  Jazz aficionados eagerly await Sunday's start of the 42nd Annual AZJazz Week. This year's events kick off with a special focus on Thelonious Monk, followed by solo and group performances throughout the week.

The UofA Concert Series presents Itzhak Perlman Sunday night at Centennial Hall. Winner of 16 Grammy, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, four Emmy Awards, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, this is a rare opportunity to see such talent locally.
