An open letter to UA parents
	Dear Parents of the University of Arizona, I would like to welcome you this weekend on behalf of the students here at this grand learning institution.

Town of Tubac offers visitors crafts, culture
	So the dinner reservations are taken care of, everyone has already made the rounds at the Tucson Mall and walked around what's left of University of Arizona Mall. If it seems that this year's Family Weekend is looking a lot like last year's, take a road trip down south to the town of Tubac. This tiny town, dedicated solely to the creative arts, is located 45 miles south of Tucson off I-19. Nearby is the Tubac Presidio State Historic Park and the Anza trail, a four- and-a-half-mile trek along the Santa Cruz River.
