Lilly, Cute Jack Russell, Looking for a Home!

Lilly is a 6 month old female Jack Russell which our friend is currently fostering her. She gets along with dogs and kids and is learning what a cat is. She is house trained, doing well in the crate and learning basic obedience. She lived with a family which included a 10 year child and 10 dogs. Their house was foreclosed on and on Monday 6/8 the family was evicted. They needed to place several of their dogs otherwise they were off to the Humane Society. The Golden Bone Rescue called and our friend went to pick her up. She will be spayed on Wed. 6/17 and current on her vaccines by then as well. She is very sweet and loveable and just remember she IS a 6 month old Jack Russell! Enough said there ;-) Please help us place her... and let the word get around so Lilly can find her forever family. Thank you!

Celebration of Native American Music & Dance Saturday June 13

Tlaquepaque will be hosting the "Celebration of Native American Music and Dance". The festival is a non-profit event with proceeds dedicated to the protection, preservation and interpretation of the Native American cultural heritage sites of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

The Yellow Bird Apache Dancers perform from 10:30 to 11:00 AM, 12:00 - 12:30 PM, 1:30 - 2:00 PM, and 3:00 - 3:30 PM in Plaza de la Fuente. Kevin Duncan, four-time world champion hoop dancer and the current World Champion teen hoop dancer, spins 25 colored hoops in a blur of dance and high intensity movement that is mind-boggling. Not to mention the dancers creative depictions of several animal forms including the eagle and rattlesnake. This is a must-see phenomenon!

If you’re an Indie film buff and like PBS documentaries you may recognize the signature sounds of Aaron White who has been making traditional music for 17 years. Signer, songwriter, master of the Native American flute and acoustical guitarist, his finger picking style has been captivating audiences around the country. White’s lyrics and musical style is both modern and grounded in the haunting sounds unique to the ceremonial flute. White received a Grammy Nomination in 2003 for his work with Burning Sky for their CD Spirits in the Wind. Aaron White and Burning Sky perform from 12:00 - 3:30 PM in the Patio de las Campanas.

Oak Creek Bridge First Phase Demolition CompleteThe drilling of shafts is scheduled to start on Monday near Tlaquepaque for the construction of abutment 1 and continuation of pier 2 construction. This was made possible by the demolition of 13 feet of the existing bridge that took place last week.
