Kingman Happenings: Kingman Route 66 Fest

 Too much happening in Kingman today.  There is the Route 66 rally, the Home and Garden Show and the Beale Theater Talent show.  The car rally needs some support.  It is at the Lewis Kingman Park.  They were washed out today with a big rain and when I went by many vendors tents were closed.  However it runs until 8 tonight so I am sure they will make a big recovery when the rain dies down.  Mostly the decor was still up, and a few vendors open.  There is a train and zip line--both not running when I was there.  There were some cars lining Route 66, but they didn't have their hoods open and there were no very many old cars.  The rock vendor was open and I purchased a crystal.
