I’ve attended the previous two Streetcar Celebrations – Destination Main Gate (1/15/14) on and Destination 4th Avenue (2/26/14). Each time the Sun Link streetcar was available for viewing up close, plus there were Friends of the Tucson Streetcar tents with information, Streetcar keychains and buttons, and discounts/deals from the respective merchants. LD 9 State Senator Steve Farley has been present at both previous celebrations.
