If performance art is more your style, there is plenty to see and do. Go all out and celebrate Halloween properly with Theater Works’ Killer Halloween. The Arizona Broadway Theatre is about to

One of the most exciting parts about fall is being able to enjoy the cooler weather with your family out of doors. Soak up the autumn atmosphere at Halloween festivals in the month of October and maybe a hay ride or two in November. Visit the corn maze and pumpkin patches at Tolmachoff Farms in Glendale from October 1st-November 21st. On October 30th, you can check out the Halloween Monster Bash at the Peoria Sports Complex; the event is complete with on-sight trick-or-treating and craft tables. This fall in children’s entertainment, Spotlight Youth Theatre is showcasing Guys and Dolls. While adult-centered Broadway musicals might force your kids to catch some Z’s, a cast of their peers is sure to engage them and grab their

attention. With Halloween and Thanksgiving out of the way, you will be able to welcome the winter holidays with Old town Peoria’s Holiday Festival on December 3rd. Play in the snow and participate in the 19th Annual Gingerbread House Competition.

QUICK TIPS

Behind-the-ScenesDo you and your kids like

chocolate? Is it even necessary to ask? If you’ve got a hankering to see

the process of making chocolate, we’ve got a suggestion for you that

even Willy Wonka himself might envy. Cerreta Candy Company

in old town Glendale tours are offered Monday through Friday at

10am and 1pm.5345 W Glendale Ave.

623-930-9000www.cerreta.com

pA Strike OutAre the kids bored at home? Take

them to Peoria Lanes to bowl the night away and treat them to one of America’s past times. If regular bowling isn’t wild enough for you,

plan your very own XTrEME Bowling event, complete with lights,

music, food and adventure. 8475 W. Olive Ave.

623-486-1496www.amf.com/peorialanes

Space and BeyondIf you’re looking for an interactive and educational activity for your

family, you will definitely find something exciting to do at the Challenger Space Center

in Peoria. Throughout October and November, the center will be featuring a Halloween Fright Mission, stargazing and even a

Voyage to Mars!919 W. Fillmore St.

22 You Are Here Fall 2010

In the desert, the leaves might not be changing, but there is still have one surefire way of knowing when autumn starts: the beginning of football and hockey season. As we get into the swing of things for fall, it’s good to know that for the next few months, you and your family can almost always catch a Cardinals game at the University of Phoenix Stadium or watch the Phoenix Coyotes hit the ice at the Jobing.com Arena. Some games you definitely won’t want to miss this fall are the Cardinals taking on the New Orleans Saints on October 10th, the October 16th Coyotes match against the Detroit redwings, and the 49ers versus the Cardinals on November 29th, just after Thanksgiving weekend. If you’re not

a fan of spectator sports, fear not! revisit an old favorite or try something new. You might be surprised about all of the alternative sports available to you, whether you prefer to sit back and watch a little league game, get your hands dirty and rock-climb or turn your body into a pretzel with some sweet yoga moves. There’s plenty of enjoyable recreational activities in the West Valley that you can discover and enjoy!

While there will be no shortage of football and hockey games in the West Valley this fall season, everyone needs a favorite place to enjoy a game via TV, preferably with good food and great people at their side. And when it’s not game night, there’s often nothing better than taking the night off from cooking and finding a restaurant that can do all the work for you and make it seem effortless. If you’re in the mood for a night out with few complications, consider trying Firebirds Wood Fired Grill in Peoria, where the steaks are delicious, the drinks reasonably priced, and the portions generous. Locals and visitors alike should appreciate Lakeside Bar and Grill in Peoria, which has a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or

are you looking for some “Irish hospitality”? You can get that and more at O’Sullivan’s Sports Bar & Grill in Glendale which offers customers a fun twist on typical diner fare.

QUICK TIPS

What Ales You?Whatever you crave, the yard

House at the Westgate Center in Glendale is sure to sate you.

It’s got hearty food and classic rock. You’ll be hard pressed to pick just one of their seventy different

choices of beer, available fresh from the tap. Maybe you’ll have to treat yourself to more than one pint!

9401 W. Westgate Blvd.623-872-3900

MC Ecuadorian EateryIf your taste buds are craving

something unique, then look no further than this quirky hole in the wall! Mi Comida serves

up mouth-watering dishes from Ecuador, Peru and Columbia in a west Phoenix strip mall. Enjoy

the funky atmosphere and flavorful food! Their sweet plantain and shrimp soups

are to die for!4221 W. Bell Rd.

Phoenix, AZ 85053

Tp Smokin’ GrubIf you’re looking for some good old fashioned ribs, fried chicken,

or pulled-pork sandwiches, Thee Pitts Again in Glendale will sure hit the spot. The diner locale sets this BBQ joint apart! Guy Fieri of The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives featured the southern-style restaurant

just last year on his show. You can’t miss it!5558 W. Bell Rd.
