Celebrate Oro Valley/Second Saturday
April 13, 2019 @ 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
A celebration for the community we love! This year’s theme, “Our Legacy, Our Future,” will highlight the region’s early beginnings through the present, with a look toward the future. Many of the activities will focus on our ranching past. Stop by the Heritage Garden for demonstrations of “branding”. Children can make a stick riding horse or bull at the crafts table.
The Pusch House will feature unique displays and information regarding ranching at Steam Pump Ranch and the Oro Valley area. Roam around the house on a self-tour or let our docents guide you through. Donations are greatly appreciated and the main source of our income to “Keep Oro Valley History Alive”!
But wait there’s more! Three musical acts, horse demonstrations, the James D. Kriegh meteorite display and an art show. Be sure to stop by the Oro Valley Historical Society tent to buy “Claiming the Desert”, by Jim Williams, notecards, water and a Jim Click “Millions for Tucson” Raffle ticket. Raffle tickets are $25 each or 5 for $100 for a chance to win a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2 First Class roundtrip tickets to ANYWHERE in the world, or $5000. ALL proceeds from the ticket sales go to OVHS!
What a great family-friendly way to spend the day…don’t miss it!
