Every Woman event at Old Town Artisans on March 21

by on Mar. 19, 2010, under Arts, Health, Life

Mini-facials, massages, other exciting pampering for women only in the courtyard at Old Town Artisans, 201 N. Court Ave. in downtown Tucson, on Sunday March 21, 3 to 6 p.m.
Entry is free, open to women (and their male friends of course) of all ages.

This is the fourth time this event has been offered at Old Town Artisans, and will consist of live music (jazz duo), flamenco dancing, a delicious Mexican buffet by La Cocina, a raffle of goodies, arts & crafts, even “mocktails” (no alcohol) for the children. This festive, community event promotes women artists, entrepreneurs, and causes. Mini-facials will cost $10, and massages are $1 for a minute.

Count me in. After all, March is Women’s Herstory Month, and what better way to tell your story than by looking and feeling good, and being pampered. And a portion of the proceeds and the money raised from the raffle from this Every Woman event goes to Tucson’s Primavera Foundation (www.primavera.org), an agency that assists the homeless.

    Thanks. That sounds like fun. I have company this weekend so we may just mosey on down there if we don’t go to Sabino Canyon.

      Hi Karyn. Yes, every woman deserves to be pampered, so hope you get to attend this event.  I’ve never been to it before and it sounds like fun.

  • azmouse

    That does sound great and what great prices, plus Mexican food…my favorite!
    I’m thinking thirty dollars for a half hour message sounds wonderful.

  • Carolyn Classen

    Yes, the Mexican food at La Cocina is quite good, I’ve had it several times.  Do check out this event on Sunday!

    • azmouse

      I’ve never eaten there so thanks for the review.
      Air show on Saturday, and now the event on Sunday.
      It’ll be a fun weekend!
