“ A Softer Side of the ‘Town Too Tough To Die’”

     If you have never been to Tombstone, Arizona, the weekend of April 13 - 15, 2012 would be a great time to make that journey to this most historic of Wild West towns.  That weekend the good folks of Tombstone will host The Rose Tree Festival which commemorates 127 years of blooming of the World’s Largest Rose Tree.

       Here is a good link to give you more information - http://www.tombstonechamber.com/Rose-Tree-Festival .  We have also included some pictures we took of Tombstone in March 2010 showing some of the most famous historic sites in this wonderful Arizona town.  Finally, take a look at our movie of the “unblooming” rose tree we made that March.  We think you will be amazed of the size of this Arizona rose tree!
