Towerpoint Festival

Towerpoint is the name of the RV Report where we have been staying  since January.  Since we are leaving tomorrow for Quartzite, I thought I would post a bit about the resort.  Here is our site:

There are many activities here – clubs etc and they recently had a festival that had a showcase of some of the activities here as well as a parade and many other events.  Considering that there is little space to create a parade, they did a really good job of  having a fun time.  It is Arizona’s centennial year so that was the theme.  Did you know that in 1940, the population of Arizona was under half a million and is now (2010) over 6 million?    How is that for growth!!  Dalton says that industries were moved from the west coast during the Second World War so that the Japanese could not easily bomb them.  That began the growth for the area. 

we visited all the displays from the various activity displays but we only took quilting pictures. (Wonder why?!)

Anyway, first I will show you some pictures of the display  from the quilting group.

These were done at a class.  for $25 you can join the guild and take any of the classes offered.

The entries in the show were all amazing.

Now here are some pictures of the fesival parade.

A real cowboy who could do tricks with a rope.

This is supposed to be the state capitol building.

Isn't it amazing what few resources but lots of time can produce?!

Tomorrow we are on to Quartzite to camp in the bare desert (with hundreds of others).  Should be interesting.
