ROW 3: At the Friends of Flagstaff’s Future Annual Blue Jean Ball at the Mu- seum of Northern Arizona October 14, folks gather to celebrate 22 years of F3 making Flagstaff a more livable commu- nity. A few of the F3 Posse pose from left: David McCain, Dawn Tucker & Mike Caulkins brought the attention straight and narrow, calling out all the changes on the homestead; Adam (who recent- ly announced his run for Flagstaff City Council in 2018) & Genevieve Shimoni, put their brand of fun on the night!
ROW 4: It was a crisp October evening during the 2nd Annual Ofrenda cere- mony at the Museum of Northern Ari- zona, with candle light ambience, and hot chocolate and pan dolce served to the crowd. Inset at left: Barbara Flores proudly displays her father Reymundo’s picture at the Veterans’ Ofrenda, hon- oring the many locals who served in the country’s wars over the past 10 de- cades. From left, in the Courtyard, Lydia Anaya speaks lovingly about her family as guests look on; luck comes in 3’s, as these made-up Calaveras will attest; the live Mariachi Sol Azteca brought that dynamite up-tempo beat, livening up all the souls ‘present.’
