I'd never seen a rainbow without rain before, much less a horizontal rainbow! So I wanted to share it with you. A friend said this happens when the sun refracts through the clouds instead of rain. I thought it was so cool. Did anyone else see it?
From the City:
Help bring history to life this October! The Henry F. Hauser Museum is seeking actors to portray people buried in the historic Fry Pioneer Cemetery at its annual Dusk with the Dead event.
This program invites residents to tour the cemetery while actors deliver a short monologue about the person they are portraying. Scripts and costumes will be provided.
Available roles:
If interested, please contact the museum at (520) 439-2306 or Museum@SierraVistaAZ.gov.

From the Arizona Clean Election website:
"The Voter Education Guide, also known as the "Candidate Statement Pamphlet", provides voters information on the voting process and statements from the candidates running for statewide and legislative office. The guide, for the first time ever, now includes candidates running for countywide offices! The Commission produces a guide for both the state primary and general elections."
If you haven't received the paper copy in the mail, you can download either the English or Spanish copies as searchable PDFs on that site or through the links I've provided.

I hope this is helpful to the group.
All the following information is from the City of Sierra Vista email I receive. If you’d like to stay updated, you can sign up for these email here. For more information about events going on that weekend, you can check out this post.
The City reminds its residents that the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend the display at the City Sports Complex on E. Tacoma St. or from Veterans Memorial Park.
If you decide to have fireworks at home, there are legal and illegal types you can use.
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS: Bottle rockets, skyrockets, roman candles, helicopters, and jumping jacks. These are illegal throughout the state of Arizona.
LEGAL FIREWORKS: Cylindrical and cone fountains, ground spinners, illuminating torches, and other types designed to be handheld or to remain on the ground.
Please ensure you have a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of emergency.
Also, no one under the age of 18 is allowed to use fireworks unsupervised, especially small children. This includes igniting and playing with fireworks. Just a reminder that sparklers, while pretty and fun, burn at temperatures around 2000° degrees and can cause severe injury.
Don’t forget! As of right now, the weather will have highs in the mid-90s and lows in the mid 60s. So if you’ll be wandering around outdoors, please make sure to wear appropriate clothing--including hats!--and sunscreen (don’t forget to reapply!).
And stay hydrated!
Not everyone’s pets love the heat, large crowds and loud noises. These experiences can cause pets, especially dogs, to panic and potentially run away and get lost. And since the City doesn’t allow pets at any of the weekend events at Veterans Memorial Park except the Pets and People Promenade on Saturday morning from 7-9am, be sure to leave them safely at home.
Make sure your outdoor dogs have sufficient shade and water.
This is a me note.
Please be courteous to your neighbors.
This doesn’t mean you can’t set off fireworks the Fourth of July weekend--though if you live in an apartment complex, check the complex rules first, given the size of open areas and the higher chance of accidents and incidents--but please don’t be that person setting off fireworks at 2am for the next two weeks.
By the time most of you see this, hopefully it will be resolved
Update per CoolFMOnline's FB page:
"**UPDATE (10:41 a.m.) The Cove Aquatic Center and Veterans Memorial Park have been cleared and are now open to the public. Please avoid all other City parks and sports fields until further notice as this bomb threat is investigated.**
They're a great resource for information about local events. You can stay updated about this one here.

Per the SV Herald article about the original report:
"SIERRA VISTA — Sierra Vista police are investigating a bomb threat made Wednesday morning that prompted officials to restrict access to city parks, sports fields and recreational facilities while officers conducted searches.
In a public advisory issued Wednesday, the Sierra Vista Police Department urged residents to avoid city parks and sports fields until further notice as officers investigated the threat. Police also asked residents to report any suspicious activity observed at city parks or recreational facilities by calling 911.
Authorities said residents could expect an increased police presence at parks and recreational facilities throughout the city and warned that access would be limited during the investigation. The advisory initially included The Cove Aquatic Center among the affected facilities."
