They blocked off several blocks downtown. Right outside the building where I work was a military village. Here they are talking about the Buffalo Soldiers.
and some in old uniforms
there were some really cool tanks
byplanes flying over (there were bombers too but I didn't get pictures of everything)
an old west town
where you could pan for gold and see gun fights
an Indian village
the Indian village was my favorite I went back a couple times
Salt River Pima Indian dancers
Hopi dancers
a Mexican village
and lots of old cars
AND!!! they opened the old City Cemetery. So I went in and found my Great-great Grandmothers headstone. Looks like it was placed recently though. Elizabeth Anne Shelton Gordon was buried next to her grandson Clarence Boston who died age 17 months after drowning in a washtub. Clarence was my grandfather's brother. There is no stone for Clarence.
