Old Tucson shows its roots at Western Heritage Fest

Old Tucson reaches for its roots this weekend with its Western Heritage Festival, from Friday, Nov. 29, to Sunday, Dec. 1.

The theme park is teaming up with the Arizona Sonora Western Heritage Foundation to showcase the Old West influences that you can still find in Southern Arizona.

Power from the Past, an organization that celebrates early engine technology, will be out and on display, making homemade ice cream and jump ropes for children, according to press materials.
