Allen Rd., where there were lots of families exploring, listening to Angus in the Enchanted Garden, enjoying pipe-cleaner animals made by a fellow. and other activities for the kids. Then the lights came on at sunset, and the place became even more magical, with thoughts of hope & kindness for the future. Fitting end to Beyond Tucson 2013.
