Ongoing right now till 8 p.m. over 12 info booths, artists performing at World Aids Day on the front patio of the Loft theater, plus four food trucks. Listened to singers, then Alfredo, a straight guy diagnosed HIV positive who spoke from the heart about his journey, 8 year struggle and how he felt blessed by his wife and 3 daughters every day. Esperanza Dance Project addressed childhood sexual abuse by their dancing and expressions of empowerment and growth. Info booths were from Pima County Health, TIHAN, SAAF, UA LGBTQ Affairs, COPE, Hope, Cenpatico, etc. More to come to celebrate progress made with HIV/AIDS. (I did enjoy hot Ramen #2 at the Fat Noodle Food Truck as I anticipated.)
Fat Noodle Food Truck, Big Bad Wolf, Cool Cajun Cafe and MJ Sonoran Hot Dogs will be providing food truck food at the event on Tuesday from 4-8 pm. “Fat Noodle truck serves ramen – my favorite” says Carolyn.
