Flagstaff's Route 66 Car Club will fill our downtown with fun Friday through Sunday

Another fun and exciting weekend is coming up in Flagstaff with the <a href="http://www.flagstaffroute66days.com/index.html">Annual Route 66 Celebration of the “Mother Road.”</a> The real kick-off of the event was the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra performance, “Car Tunes” at the spectacular Pine Mountain Amphitheatre at Ft. Tuthill in south Flagstaff. The concert, last Monday night, was one of FSO’s free events of the summer and, was, I thought, simply superb. Even the thunderstorm cooperated with the music, providing distant lightening that seemed to coordinate with the percussion.This weekend, September 7-9, look for the focus of fun in downtown Flagstaff. The final outdoor movie of the summer will start at dusk at <a title="Heritage Square Trust" href="http://www.heritagesquaretrust.org/" target="_blank">Heritage Square</a>. The Disney/Pixar feature <a title="About the Movie" href="http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/cars/main.html?sec=4" target="_blank">Cars</a>. For those of you who don’t know this movie, think: Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo. (My personal reviewer says the message of Cars is a little heavy for the 4 and 6 year olds in our family, but still fun.) The movie is brought to you by the <a title="Flagstaff Downtown Business Alliance website" href="http://www.flagdba.com/" target="_blank">Flagstaff Downtown Business Alliance</a>. Bring a jacket and blanket to sit comfortably at Heritage Square during the movie.You also have the opportunity to experience <a title="First Friday Artwalk Sponsored by The Artists' Gallery" href="http://www.theartistsgallery.net/first%20friday.htm" target="_blank">Flagstaff’s First Friday Artwalk</a>.
