The Glow: Experience art by the full moon (video)

The Glow, an annual lighted art walk and musical extravaganza, is this weekend, September 9-10 at the Triangle L Ranch in Oracle, Arizona.
If you have never been to The Glow, take a drive up Oracle Road this weekend for this unique, family-friendly community event.
The Glow is the brainchild of artist and Triangle L owner Sharon Holnback, who has been hosting and perfecting the event for several years.
The Glow is a little different each year, but it’s always an experience. But don’t believe me. Check out the video below with photos from past Glows (2007-10). The Glow website also has a gallery (scroll down) and particulars about this year’s event, including a schedule of bands and other performers, as well as a list of participating artists.
The fun starts at 7 p.m. There is food at the event, but there are also several great restaurants along the route. (Watch out for the speed traps and Oro Valley cops, also along the route. The speed limit changes at least 5 times between Ina Road and the Triangle L.)

Progressive Action
We often hear that corporations need migrant workers because Americans “don’t want to do these jobs.” When I hear this statement, I picture farm workers picking vegetables. Recently, I toured two dairies and an animal feed packing plant in Pinal County. The photo above from the Zinke Dairy shows a giant cow milking carousel. Nine migrant workers milk 4000 cows three times a day at this dairy. Legislators watched the two men pictured here– working at a brisk pace– bend over and pick up, lift, and attach large electronic suction cups to the cows as they ride the carousel around the giant facility. This level of automation is the wave of the future for industrial jobs.

The Living Economy event was very informative; we had a great time hob-nobbing. My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona and buying/investing locally. We believe that supporting local small businesses with low-interest loans through a public/private partnership between a public bank and community banks and credit unions is the sustainable route to improving our local economy. Trickle down economics doesn’t work; it’s time for new ideas.

There have been many lively debates in the Arizona House in 2018.

It was truly a honor to meet Nevada State Senator Patricia Spearman (center) in October and to confer with her regarding our efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Arizona.

There are a lot of Arizona women who are ready to make history in 2018. Watch my blog here and my Facebook page here for ERA updates.

Wow, never heard of this artist/musician event in Oracle. Was wondering about ticket costs and the info was on the website: $10 adults, $5 under 18 with guardian, under 3 free. Thanks for the info Pam.

I’ve heard great things about The Glow.

The Glow is awesome. Sharon is always tweaking the mix of art, music, and performance, so each year is a little different. I have been going every year since 2004– the year the full moon was on my birthday and the year I got laid off. We partied the night away, dancing to Kid Squid; it helped me forget that I was broke.

It’s a fun event, Carolyn. You guys should go.
My artwork also will be there– in the Barn Gallery and the gift shop. We plan to go up early (to make sure my artwork lights up properly), go to the Oracle Inn for dinner (good food, cheap drinks), and then back to the Glow for the music and people watching.

I was out of town last year, but went the year before. It was well worth the trip. I hope the weather cooperates.
