Ann's Picks for A Fun Flagstaff Weekend

There is a wide selection of fun and educational events this weekend in Flagstaff

The annual Flagstaff Festival of Science kicks off ten days of events on Friday night at Northern Arizona University’s Ardrey Auditorium. A very special keynote speaker, Richard Preston, Ph.D, will lead the audience into the depths of biological science using his gift for story-telling to entertain. Preston is the author of the New York Times best-seller, The Hot Zone, about the outbreaks of disease caused by rare and lethal viruses. The event begins at 7 p.m.

Friday and Saturday night, you can enjoy an outdoor movie at Fort Tuthill. For selections and times, visit http://www.arizonaroadshow.com/.

Friday night, you’ll find a selection of Presidential Debate parties around Flagstaff.

The excitement of the Flagstaff Festival of Science continues with Science in the Park on Saturday, at Wheeler Park in downtown Flagstaff, in downtown Flagstaff, from 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. There are numerous events throughout the weekend.
