Local First as a BrightSpot in Arizona

Part of the reason we had a Phoenix weekend this weekend was to attend the LocalFirst event at Portland Park (right outside where we used to stay when our friend rented an apartment).  http://www.localfirstaz.com/  .  Mark and I signed up as members and we look forward to joining others in Tucson and Phoenix who are part of the "buy local" movement.  At the LocalFirst booth we learned that Arizona has the largest local network in the nation.  Not California, not New York, but Arizona.  That is really an important fact we need to celebrate and shine light on as a stellar "bright spot."  Here are photos by Mark from the event.
