Family Fun at the Jewish Food Festival in Tucson, AZ
I love this quote that I read in a recent email of happenings in Tucson:
“You don’t have to be Jewish to love the Jewish Food Festival & Family Fun Fair!”
It sounds like another wonderful, affordable, diverse event and something to add to my list of fun things to to in Tucson, AZ. I was immediately interested!
It takes place at Brandi Fenton Memorial Park, located at 3482 River Road in Tucson, AZ. Activities begin at 11 a.m. and go throughout the afternoon until 4 p.m. November 7, 2010
You don't want to be late because right at the start, there will be a weigh-in for the Guinness Book of World Records! Chef Jon Wirtis of Shlomo and Vito's local restaurant will be attempting to make the world's largest Matzo ball, to the tune of five HUNDRED pounds!
The entertainment will have your feet tapping and your hips swishin' as well! Here's the lineup:
