The Gardens will be decorated with skeletons submitted by local artists allowing visitors to explore the spooky grounds after dark and there will be a traditional altar, or ofrenda, where participants can choose to place a message for a loved one who has passed.

Adults & Teens: In 1880, Alan Day's grandfather homesteaded the Lazy B ranch. This dusty tract of land produced a Supreme Court justice, a lauded Arizona state senator, and a career rancher and land conservationist. Alan explores the ranching life, from the chuck wagon years of his childhood through his adult years of increasing bureaucracy, airplanes, computers and drones. At the heart of his stories lie adventures that most of us will never experience, as well as a deep love of the natural world. Copies of “Cowboy Up” will be available for purchase. 

The TVUSD District's Tanque Verde Art Fair & Market will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Lew Sorensen Community Building, 2300 N. Tanque Verde Loop Rd.
