With over 80 groups already registered to table at the Peace Fair this year, it will be an excellent chance to catch up with friends, both old and new.

And the Tucson Peace Center is offering a Climate Cabaret this year where everyone can sing, dance, recite, perform, and give artistic expression to what climate change means to them.

Come on out to Reid Park this Saturday and enjoy the largest gathering of Peace, Social Justice, and Environmental groups in Southern AZ.

Thanks Mary for the update on the many booths/groups to be at the peace fair, now in its 32nd year.

Peaceful day at the peace fair with lots of booths and a Native American drumming circle Earth Spirit on the stage at the start. Checked out the Climate Cabaret where Global Community Alliance children's choir sang 3 eco-friendly songs, followed by a play entitled "I Guess He's Not Hungry" (about tainted fish, GMO salads, effluent based drinking water). Then 11 Raging Grannies sang songs against nuclear power, frakking, President Obama's broken promises, TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), and pro climate care and fellow granny Betts Putnam-Hidalgo for TUSD. Continues today till 5 p.m. at Reid Park.
