Giraffes! Peanuts! Mission Gardens!

Tucson's Birthday Ambassadors Sarah Claussen (L) and Tom Szudajski (R) were among volunteers spreading excitement about upcoming Tucson's Birthday events last night. It was 2nd Saturday downtown and the Birthday had a "pop up" spot in the heart of things on Congress. Mia Hansen cruised the crowd promoting the August 14 Birthday Concert at the Fox, while Miranda and Jaime Perez helped talk up the Free Zoo Day August 20, the August 1 kick off at the Mission Gardens and the website where everyone can find a way to celebrate the Birthday every day in August.

Our History in Layers

This video illustrates Tucson downtown, today, then what it may have looked like in the early presidio era, then what it might have looked like as a pit house village before the presidio was established. The base of an ancient pit house has been excavated for public interpretation within the reconstructed walls of the Presidio at the corner of Washington and Church Streets.
