Borderlandia

🗣 "Thanks for the great show in Green Valley last night. I plan to book a trip." -Peg

👏 It makes our day to receive notes like this.

🌃 We were delighted by the reception to our presentation, Sonora's Spirit: Bacanora, last night at Green Valley, Arizona's CPAC Performing Arts Center.

🐦 Despite it being late May with most of the local snow birds having already returned, we were able to fill 2/3 of the venue!

🍒 The cherry on the cake has been finding out this morning that Borderlandia featured alongside our friends in a special edition of National Geographic Travel Magazine.

📆 More on that later!
