Throughout the month of February Tucson hosts the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. It is not just one show, however, and is a constantly changing show in a variety of locations. People come from all over the world to show gems, minerals, fossils and a variety of other items. I look forward to it because my cousin comes down from Berkeley and we have dinner together. The photos are from his display. The third photo is a 7 million year old skull of a huge hyena type animal. It can be yours for $12,000. His store is listed on VT under Berkeley Shopping Tips. The 2009 Gem and Mineral Show is kicking off the end of January and will last most of the way through February. The show is smaller this year due to the economy and prices are cheaper.

Day of the Dead - Tuscon
is celebrated with various
performances as well as
a variety of artistic altars
in museums and shops.
One tradition is a huge
parade, known as the All
Souls Procession.
The procession is made up of thousands of ordinary
people who all dress up in Day of the Dead costumes.
It's not unlike a giant Halloween parade of fanciful skeletons .... Leave a Comment

Each February since 1925,
Tucsonans saddle their
horses, hitch up their
buggies and shine their
cowboy boots for the

The first La Fiesta de los Vaqueros
(Celebration of the Cowboys) in
1925 touted four days of events
and competition.
Today, the event has grown to a
nine-day celebration centered on
the Tucson Rodeo, one of the top
20 professional rodeos in all of
North America. Leave a Comment Address: Irvington Rd & 6th AvenuePhone: 1.800.964.5662Directions: From I-10: take Park Ave., exit south, turn west (right) on Irvington Rd. From 1-19: take Irvington Rd. eastWebsite: http://www.tucsonrodeo.com Other Contact: info@tucsonrodeo.com
