Phoenix Weekend
Oct 10 to Oct 11
A past weekend. Written after the fact from what local sources listed and the weather that actually happened.
Phoenix ran hot and wet: a high near 90 with drizzle on Saturday, then rain and a high of 86 on Sunday. The weekend leaned indoors, with youth reading workshops, drawing at the arts center and a cafe scavenger hunt.
