There aren’t any festival in Arizona this month, but there is great

E.g. SN-PL

festival in Roswell, New Mexico. It calls the UFO Festival, and it's all about! There are

a lot of diferent types of events. My friends always wanna come to one of them. For

example last year there are many planetarium shows. There are also some talks by

astronomers and other scientists there weren’t many tickets for these talks, so it was an

idea good to buy them online. there was an alien costume compete, and there were many

contestants at really crazy costumes! There was also an alien parade. Believe me, there

isn't another festival like the an UFO Festival!' I like festivals UFO love.
