The big event ended up being much bigger than I had imagined it. Sure, it had been talked up to us all through the semester, but actually being there and seeing it all come together was really amazing. The entertainment was fun, the artwork was creative, and the food was spectacular. It was really great to see the community to come together to create such a fun and inspiring pair of evenings.
It felt like the event went very smoothly. It was very cold that weekend but nobody seemed to mind, there was still a huge turnout and everyone was smiling and socializing thoughout the evening. I worked with the caterers in preparing and replenishing food items on their display of creativley cooked local and organic foods, all of which were donated from Tucson Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and other local companies and eateries such as Maynard’s Market on Toole Ave and B-Line on Fourth Ave.
I had a great time walking around and examining the exhibition of locally created art. My favorite pieces were the sculptures, and it turned out that they were many other peoples favorite too. The Chihuahua made of bicycle parts ended up going for $1,400! It was exciting to see that kind of money being raised for BICAS, and it was great to see the community support that is a large part in making the program so successful.
