Thank you to the exhibitors and everyone who came to UA Cooperative Extension for the Expo on March 11, 2023!
A wonderful time was had by all and we look forward to next year! We are always on the Saturday AFTER the Festival of Books. RAFFLE PRIZE WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MARCH 14-15.
ATTN: TUCSON WATER CUSTOMERS
IRRIGATION CONTROLLERS ARE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH 22nd!!
Tucson Water is offering a limited number of discounted smart irrigation controllers that customers will be able to purchase online and pick up at the Expo (or later date). These 6-station outdoor smart irrigation controllers, valued at $528, will be available for $100 plus sales tax. Customers must register for and take a very short class (webinar with time for live Q&A) on how to use this controller before taking it home. HOA commercial customers may use their commercial account #/address to purchase one controller, if it suits their needs, and register one person for a class.
