    logo_stpatricksSedona AZ (March 15, 2016) – With the a little luck of the Irish, what started as a cold and damp morning on March 12th turned into a beautiful and partly sunny day in Sedona. Thousands of families, mostly locals and some visitors, gathered along Jordan Road to watch the 46th Annual Sedona St. Patrick’s Parade. The Sedona Fire District kicked off the Parade to clear the route, followed by the Parade Banner and the Parade Grand Marshals, the Sedona Volunteer Park Ranger Program. Next came the Camp Verde Cavalry Color Guard on horseback. Dignitaries including Sedona Mayor Sandy Moriarty and City Council members, Cottonwood Mayor Diane Joens, Coconino County Supervisor District 3 Matt Ryan and Coconino County Sheriff Department’s Chief Deputy Jim Driscoll came next waving to their constituents. Other parade entrants included bagpipers, bands, dancers, dogs, horses and a variety of vehicles and walking troupes! 

    Non-profit organizations and individuals composed much of the Parade, showing phenomenal enthusiasm with their entries. Business entries had a great opportunity to promote their business and see their patrons, friends and neighbors along the parade route. All were all warmly received as each was announced by the Master of Ceremonies, John Conway, and viewed by the Parade Judges: Ricky Conway-Recreation Coordinator for Coconino County Parks and Recreation, Jessica Foos-Guest Services Coordinator for Flagstaff Recreation Services, and Brian Grube-Assistant Director for Coconino County Parks and recreation Department. See pictures of each entry and all the festivities on our website at www.sedonamainstreet.com and feel free to send a copy of your favorite photos to friends and family!

    Immediately following the parade, the Parade Festival kicked off on Apple Avenue and in the parking lots of Sedona Meditation Center and 350 Jordan Road. Southwest Skye Pipes and Drums opened with ceremonial bagpipe songs, followed by the live music of Karl Jones & Dublin Soul and a solo violin performance by Echo Reed.

    Parade awards for outstanding entries were announced at the Festival (winners are noted in the attachment). Children were busied by a wide variety of free activities, and families participated in the games. We were honored this year to host the Sedona Fire District and their presentation of a girder from the World Trade Center, which guests were able to visit and photograph. Crowds of residents and visitors alike enjoyed the free and lively entertainment and activities on such a beautiful day in Sedona.

    Words of Love
    By Tommy Acosta

    There is a movement happening in the A.I. universe that few are talking about but soon almost everyone that uses it, will. People are moving beyond using their A.I. as tools for research, writing, editing, etc. and are now beginning to use their A.I.s for other things, like advice, conversation and even counseling.
