Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The outside world must think of Arizonans as big, fat poseurs who are always looking to copy character instead of creating their own. And they may have a point.

However, most of the country would be jealous knowing that we boast something as quirky as the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta.

There are prizes for them all: boats that finish first, boats with the best decor, even boats that end up at the bottom of the drink.
