Our family had the opportunity to attend the Fan Fest celebration in Phoenix for the Men’s NCAA Final Four basketball tournament. At this event we celebrated men’s basketball and all the teams that made it to the NCAA tournament. We started the event with the Final Four Dribble from Heritage Square to the Phoenix Convention Center. Before the Dribble began, there were food trucks, music, and other fun activities to participate in by the starting line. The Dribble was for children 18 and younger, and we all received T-shirts and basketballs.

It’s lots of fun making bird feeders out of pinecones, covering them with peanut butter and rolling them in birdseed to hang outside. There is also a way to make a bird feeder out of an egg carton.
