A Lavender Conference, A Hotel + A Back-Story: Visit Mesa Marketing/Agritourism

Your MesaZona blogger was "on a mission" today and it somehow turned into a surprising direction right on Center Street to the visitor information office, talking to Rachel Semik, Projects Assistant at Visit Mesa

How did that happen?
A few weeks ago, as is often the case, a post was done to highlight a conference scheduled for January - The U.S. Lavender Growers Association to be held here in Mesa ... but Why?
The conference kicked-off with a welcome reception on Thursday evening, and offers pre-conference workshops starting Thursday morning and offers education and collaboration opportunities for lavender growers and will be expanding this year to offer a separate track for those who want to expand their knowledge of the use of lavender. This year's artisan track focuses on culinary use of lavender.
Mesa  is an area steeped in farming culture, with a focus on farm to table cuisine, innovative farming technology, and the agritourist. 
Here's a link to that post back on Jan 11 2017 https://mesazona.blogspot.com/2017/01/high-tech-sure-but-lets-keep-mesa-in.html

Rachel Semik

The answer became apparent today after some exchanges on social media and a quick telephone-talk with Kara Wasserbach [see note blogger's note below], who's organizing the logistics and conference details for USLGA responding to my questions emphasizing how that organization made the decision to schedule the conference here.
It was my pleasure to get off-track and take a jaunt for a couple of blocks to 20 N Center Street to "nose-around" the visitor information offices where the cheery and enthusiastic voice of Rachel greeted me.
Kera had point-blank told me that the marketing and sales people at Visit Mesa had convinced the group to have their conference here. That's a success story for sure.
Rachel and the staff began their efforts eight months ago when the lavender group was invited to come here to see what Mesa has to offer for on-site visits to Schepf Farms, Agritopia and Queen Creek Olive Oil Mill that are all featured in one of the twelve promotion areas for the boundless outdoors attractions here:

Good. Citizens Have A Duty To Protest

Published on Jan 27, 2017

Henry David Thoreau not only wrote Walden; he is also responsible for a small pamphlet titled Civil Disobedience, which recommends that – when a US president is taking a wrong turn – good citizens have a duty to protest.

“In March 1845, the United States acquired a new president – James K. Polk – a forceful, aggressive political outsider intent on strengthening his country and asserting its pre-eminence in front of other world powers, especially Mexico and Great Britain. Within a year of his inauguration, he had declared full-scale war on Mexico because of squabbles over the Texan border, and was soon rattling his saber at Britain over the ownership of Oregon. To complete the picture, Polk was a vigorous defender of slavery, who dismissed the arguments of abolitionists as naive and sentimental...”
