We're looking forward to this year's procession, which I suspect will be much larger. It's getting huge publicity.<BR/><BR/>ra - Glad you sent in notes.

I have been in Tucson at this time of the year quite often (not this year) but don't take a paper or have the right sources to have ever heard of this.
