A great weekend in Flagstaff

NAU is starting this week, so the streets are packed with students. I love this time of year because there is so much activity around town! New-to-Flagstaff students will explore the one way streets, and if they're like I was four years ago, turn the wrong way on San Francisco a time or two. It's a great weekend for all the students to arrive, because a lot of fun events are going on!
