While everyone else was either going home or on a vacation, I drove to Kingman and did a gun show over the weekend. When I left there, it was 97 f. and arrived back in Phoenix at 107 f! So I guess we Stude freaks missed the REALLY hot weather, tho I heard they expect 113 by this weekend.
According to Wikipedia: Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC radio program. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, announced that he would air the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Hot Springs won the honor. Edwards visited the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year on the first weekend of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the Hatch Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.
So now you know the REST of the story!
