I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Bass Fishing Tournament

Fifteen of the best bass fisherman in the world were in Payson on Saturday. The fisherman answered questions, were interviewed by TV, radio and newspaper folks and signed autographs.


The National Guard was also there with their entire mobile unit called the "Fun Zone," which includes climbing walls, simulated fishing games, and wave riders. They also had a full-sized replica of NASCAR Number 88, which is Dale Earnhart Jr.'s racing machine plus the motorcycle called the National Guard chopper.




The Arizona Game and Fish Department (Yes, it is Game and Fish and not Fish and Game.) had free family fishing with loaner roads plus wildlife displays. The kids had a ball playing on lots of blow up slides and "jumpy houses."
And there was a concert in the early evening.......country western, of course. It's nice having this park about a mile away from us. We walk the lake almost daily.
