Taiko EXPLOSION was awesome! The crowd was amazed and enjoyed the excitement as the tempo grew throughout the evening. An enchanting performance by the Arizona Gakuen School Choir was the perfect start leading to very powerful taiko drumming by Fushicho Daiko. Bidding goodbye to our esteemed "Queen of Taiko" was difficult but the evening was a fitting departure for Esther Vandecar. We will miss you, dear friend!

First Friday
Our last First Friday of the season was quite warm but that did not stop anyone from taking a stroll! (Who let that wolf in anyway?!) Thanks to all who came by to feed the koi, drink in the beauty, and simply relax in the peaceful serenity of the Garden. We are open until May 29, so please take a moment to stop by before then. See you on the path!

Children's Day & Kite Festival 2011
This year's Children's Day & Kite Festival in conjunction with Valley of the Sun Koi Club was delightful! Koi swimming, kites floating, cranes folded, turtles scooting...and so much more! The shave ice and the sprinkler were a hit to cool off a bit. And the taiko was great. Thanks to all who attended and also to all who made this day happen!
