Caliente Contest
UA homecoming this weekend is
all about Wilbur the Wildcat - the
beloved and furry mascot turns
50 on Saturday.

The UA used real animals as
mascots off and on between the
early 1900s and the late 1950s
(with at least one tragic mishap),
until two UA students (Richard
Heller and John Paquette)
pitched the idea of using a
costume-wearing human.

Wilbur made his first appearance
at the UA vs. Texas Tech football
game on Nov. 7, 1959, and was
an immediate hit, according to a
UA Web site.

Wilbur's look has evolved over the
years. It was during one of those
costume makeovers that Wilma
the Wildcat was created.

She made her first public
appearance on March 1, 1986,
during a "blind date" with Wilbur.
The pair later "married" before an
Arizona-Arizona State football
game.

For a chance to win a a set of
three audio books, tell us the
date of their wedding.

Star reporter Coley Ward covers nightlife. He's on a quest to know the first name of every bartender in town. When he's not working and out on the town he orders a whiskey ginger. When he's at home he drinks home brew. His favorite dance song is Tower of Power's "Down to the Nightclub."

Workout Group member Cristina Luis took a bunch of pictures of the first Meet Me At Maynards run/walk through Downtown Tucson, which was organized by the Southern Arizona Roadrunners. Roughly 200 people turned out to run through the streets of Downtown and sip post-workout beverages. Luis sent her pictures to us, and we’re sharing them with you!

SAR board member Randy Accetta addresses the crowd before the run.

Cha Chi shows off her free Maynards t-shirt.

Here come the runners, led by Sheryl Felde, who looks like she surrenders.

The runners pass by the Old Town Artisans.

Through the snake bridge!
