If you are from or have lived in Tucson, you are probably familiar with Magic Carpet Golf, the mini-golf place on Speedway west of Wilmot. The giant, unusual figures are being saved, even though the place is being closed. I bet a few children have even been conceived on that golf course. I know it was always a great place to take dates and climb to the top of the giant tiki head and see the city lights while waiting to play through. So here is the info on the fundraiser to save all the figures from Magic Carpet Golf, courtesy of State Representative Steve Farley of Tucson (to add to the bipartisan-ness of the event, Representative Jonathon Paton is also a big fan of Magic Carpet Golf):
The big news this week is you can now purchase your tickets online for One Last Round at Magic Carpet Golf, the big fundraiser to save those great statues and also preserve the Valley of the Moon.
The event will be on Saturday, April 26, and you can reserve your tee-time for a group of 6 (groups of less will be joined together), teeing off every ten minutes. Since this is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Valley of the Moon, each round is $20 per person and you will need to pay via PayPal on the website to confirm your reservations. Reserve soon -- the slots will disappear quickly.
You can point your browser to http://www.valleymoon.info and click on the words in red on the upper right that say "Magic Carpet Reservations". You can pay with any credit card, and donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Aficionados will be coming in from all across the country for this huge event, and there will be live bands on stage all day and night along with memorabilia, food, silent auctions, and theater performances. The course is at 6125 E. Speedway, just west of Wilmot. This is one party you don't want to miss--let's celebrate some of what makes Tucson special, and ensure that future Tucsonans can still treasure these unique creations. I will see you there!
