Last week I had the opportunity to travel to the gorgeous city of Sedona for the first time in my life, in support of the Arizona Water Festival that took place on October 10. Despite being the first Water Festival in this community in many years, the event was a smashing success, with eight 4th grade classes from across Sedona joining us at Posse Grounds Park for a day of place-based water adventures. For myself, the trip was a whirlwind of excitement and fun.
