The Amado Chili Cook–off – Randy & Rose Estes – Classic Car & Motorcycle Show is a popular regional event of the I-19 Corridor. Arizona families from Phoenix to Nogales have enjoyed the festivities of this fundraising effort that benefits The Amado Youth Center. With our attendance topping 1,800, “The Cook–off” has become an established Amado community tradition that works to increase tourism and economic development in this region. We are proud to have the support of Pima County Community Prevention Coalition, Amado Community Alliance, and PPEP, Inc. as the fiduciary agent. Thank you for your continued support of the Amado Youth Center Building Fund!

I put together a video from a five day trip to Yellowstone National Park. It’s a magical and special place with the nature and wildlife and if you haven’t been there for a visit, you should put it on your “must visit” list! 🙂

I saw this big fella yesterday at Yellowstone and hoping to see more today!

For those that have never been on a photo/video shoot, here’s a little behind the scenes look at everything that it takes to make it all come together! You’ll see everything from start to finish and all things in between! 🙂

Just a quick drive through Great Smoky Mountain National Park! 🙂

It’s that time of the year when the cactus are blooming and the flowers are just beautiful. These cactus only flower for one day, so if you miss it, you’ll have to wait one year to see it again! 🙂

Here’s what you missed if you weren’t in Tombstone, Arizona on April 17th and 18th, 2021 for the second annual Schieffelin Days! They will have the third annual Schieffelin Days in April of 2022, so mark your calendar and don’t miss all the fun!!! 🙂

A day out shooting some video of the birds at Canoa Ranch in Green Valley, Arizona.

It’s pretty rare for it to snow in Green Valley, but it will snow in the Santa Rita Mountains from time to time durning the winter. This past Tuesday was one of those days!
