It was a bright and beautiful day for an outdoor festival in this city with a metropolitan area with a population of 1 million. More than 100,000 people gathered at a sprawling university to hear several hundred authors talk about their books.
As you can see in the photos, portable sanitation played an important role in serving so many visitors. One photo shows Satellite Industries ADA-accessible units under a shade tree. Another shows several Satellite units parked under a tall palm tree. Waste Management is the contractor. A third photo shows a WaterMonster portable water dispenser tank for visitors to fill their water bottles on a typical warm day at this venue.
Your mission is to figure out the event, the location and the city where these photos were taken. Here are a few more clues to help you:
- This 2,355-foot green space runs between Campbell Avenue and the Old Main Building.
- This city is considered the sunniest in the U.S. with 350 days a year of sunshine.
- We’re surrounded by mountains, including one with a large letter that looks down over the city.
- Thousands upon thousands of students know the rallying cry, “bear down,” which was uttered by a college football star in 1926.
- If you want to see a saguaro cactus, you’ll probably come here.
- We’re standing 70 miles from a foreign border and 1,136 miles from the geographical center of the U.S.
To win the contest, name the event, university and city where the photos were taken. The winner will be recognized as a geographical whiz on the PRO Facebook page. Send your responses to editor@promonthly.com.
