I am really looking forward to this Saturday, because I finally get to take a tour of Tovrea Castle in Phoenix.

I’ve driven past this interesting little building, which is right next to the 202, so many times since I moved to central Phoenix.

I’ve wanted to tour it for a long time, but it’s not as simple as showing up. Visitors have to win a lottery to buy tickets, and I finally got mine this spring. I can’t wait to share more next week!

For now, here’s what’s going on this weekend around the state, plus a map:

Carousel Charity Horse Show in Scottsdale, Thursday-Sunday

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
