The 13 gold and red rays

represent the 13 original

colonies and the sun setting

over the western desert.

The field of “liberty blue”

and the red of the rays are

the same colors found in the

American flag.

The flag is divided into a

top and bottom half with

a large copper star in the

center signifying Arizona’s

copper production (Arizona

leads the nation in copper

production).

Arizona became a state on

February 14, 1912, and the

state legislature adopted the

flag on February 27, 1917.

Blue and “old gold” are

Arizona’s official state colors.

It’s February and love is in the air. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic in love with the idea of love or a hardened cynic

convinced that Valentine’s Day is a marketing scheme, in Arizona (the Valentine state), there’s plenty of romantic fun to impress you or that special someone.

If romance is married to an irresistible flavor, it’s definitely chocolate, and Glendale goes all out over the weekend of February 3 when it hosts its 23rd Annual Chocolate Affaire in Murphy Park. Horse-drawn carriage rides, gourmet cuisine and beverages, and national entertainment will enhance the festivities. The following weekend, starting February 10, you can stroll through Carefree’s Artisan Gifts & Chocolate Festival, with live music and performances, Flagstaff’s downtown Chocolate Walk, or Bisbee’s

Chocolate Tasting event. Never underestimate the power of chocolate. Even the Verde Canyon Railroad will blend its wilderness train ride with rich chocolate pastries and luscious hand-dipped delicacies for Romance on the Rails.

If you’re hoping to dazzle or be dazzled, head to Tucson February 9–12 for the 63rd Annual Gem & Mineral Show at the Convention Center. The world’s largest show of its kind features mineral, gem, and jewelry dealers with their sparkling wares. Check out Scottsdale’s Waterfront Fine Art & Wine Festival February 10–12, or the Southern Arizona Food & Wine Festival on February 4 at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. From February 17–19, you’ll find the Fine Art & Wine Festival at Surprise Recreation Center, or Corks & Cactus at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix.

Medieval romance, food, and outrageous fun awaits at the Arizona Renaissance Festival in Apache Junction, February 11–April 2, and the Two Rivers Renaissance Faire Pirate and Faerie Festival at Yuma County Fairgrounds February 3–5. In Flagstaff, you can take your sweetheart to a Valentine’s concert with Dave McGraw and Mandy Fer at the Coconino Center for the Arts on February 14. Jump start your heart at the University of Arizona’s four-mile Fine Valentine Couple’s Relay on February 12 in Tucson. Finally, the sparks are sure to fly at Lake Havasu City’s 28th Annual Winter Blast Western Pyrotechnics Show at SARA Park February 16–19.

Whether your love life is red hot or not, treat yourself to some of these fun events this month.

It might look like the moon, but it is really Northern Arizona, where a cosmic event 50,000 years ago created the famous Meteor Crater. Scientists estimate

that a meteor 160 feet across struck at speeds nearing 40,000 miles per hour (think New York to Los Angeles in just four minutes). The impact rocked the Southwest with the energy of more than 20 million tons of TNT. It shook the Earth for miles around and lit the area with the light of hundreds of suns,

leaving a crater nearly one mile across and more than 550 feet deep. Meteor Crater is located off Interstate 40 at Exit 233, 35 miles

east of Flagstaff and 18 miles west of Winslow. For information, visit meteorcrater.com.

Arizona has a rich Western heritage, and nothing embraces “Old West” traditions like big-time pro

rodeos and parades. Scottsdale and Tucson have roped two of the nation’s premier events this month.

La Fiesta de los Vaqueros is Tucson’s oldest heritage event. On February 18, 19, and 23–26, over 650 cowboys and cowgirls compete for a cut of the $460,000 purse in six exciting rodeo performances like steer wrestling, saddle bronc and bull riding, roping, and barrel racing. Then, at 9 a.m. on February 25, the Tucson Rodeo Parade steps off in front of 150,000 spectators. It’s billed as the world’s longest non-motorized parade, with 150 western-themed floats and buggies, marching musical groups, and Mexican folk dancers. (TucsonRodeo.com)

Farther north, Scottsdale rolls out the 64th Annual Parada del Sol Parade, Trail’s End Festival, and Pro Rodeo. At 10 a.m. on February 13, thousands will watch as the parade kicks off with 100 entrants, including Arabian horses, roughhousing mountain men, U.S. Marshals Posse, Wild West women, and marching bands. After the parade, Old Town Scottsdale will bustle as the Trail’s End Festival unfolds. This block party has three main stages of live music and dancing, along with Western, Native American, and Hispanic villages, plus a Cowboy Kids’ Zone. Then it’s on to the Parada del Sol Rodeo March 10–12, with four action-packed rodeo performances. (ScottsdaleParade.com)
