APNA Agenda 4-12-11

Have something on your mind about the neighborhood?  Question about the neighborhood or the neighborhood association?  You can leave a general comment to this post,  and someone will answer your question.

The Children’s Museum Tucson will be celebrating its Silver Anniversary of providing fun, interactive learning experiences to the community with a Birthday Bash. The celebration takes place on Saturday, March 19 from 10:00am to 2:00pm and will be a free admission day.

The event will feature festive activities such as stilt walkers, jugglers, face painting, balloon animals, hula hoopers and interactive opportunities including a rock wall, jumping castle, and mini-train. Visitors will also enjoy a sampling of featured children’s craft activities from past Museum festivals and events. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.

The Birthday Bash celebration is being held in conjunction with the Arizona Theatre Company’s free community event Red, White and Yonkers. This 1940’s-themed family fun fair will feature performances, community booths, vintage cars and much more.

Because it is time to activate our streets and get our community moving, Cyclovia is returning for its second year on March 27, 2011, from 10 am to 3 pm.  You are invited to bring your whole family out for this great opportunity to adventure on south fourth avenue and other streets around Armory Park without the presence of cars. (See the full route).

Motor vehicles will be detoured from the route allowing everyone the freedom to enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably. Cyclovia isn’t a race, parade, or competition. Instead, it’s a chance to enjoy Tucson from a new perspective (outside of the car). Walk your dog, roller skate, blow bubbles. Have fun because during Cyclovia, the world stops for you.

This is a Zero Waste Event — please BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE to be filled at our many water stations.

Come out and join the fun!
