Old Tucson Studios
Tucson

We were not able to signup enough people to meet the minimums required by Old Tucson. Unfortunately we will have to cancel this event as a weekend trip. We will still be going to Old Tucson as a day event. We are planning to meet at Old Tucson on the morning of Saturday March 13th at 10:00am and spending the day there. We will not prepay for the event, we will all enter the park and obtain our meals on our own and enjoy a fun filled day just as we have in the past but this time we will return home when Old Tucson closes at the end of the day. We apologize for the change of plans, I hope many people who could not attend the entire weekend might be able to make it down for the day. We look forward to seeing you all down there. Anyone who already pre-paid for this event will of course be refunded by the council.
