Good morning Flagstaff! Are you loving Flagstaff’s sunback comeback as much as we are? Not only is the sun back, but we’re also back on Tuesdays! After a much needed break I am back to publishing events twice a week AND I’ve brought on writer Alexandra Wittenberg to help keep things going around here. I’m very excited to have her help!
In today’s Flagstaff Inspires:
🐝 Pollinator puppet making at Willow Bend!
📝Lots of writing events on Tuesday evenings
🚥 Traffic slowdown on Butler Ave. for foreseeable future
Let’s go!
