Tucson, Arizona, Obama Fest '08 at Armory Park

I don't really know what really went on there. There were musicians, activities, foods, speakers and other unknown to me, things. I painted an 8' by 8' flag mural for people to write upon and it was there, though I never saw it later. The Democratic Headquarters requested the use of it for the... Sign in to see full entry.
