Things to do


Here are two tips if you're going to Motorcycles on Main.  First, don't wear the most colorful shirt in your wardrobe or you'll stick out as bad as I did--think black.  Second, the snakes sometimes bite, which slipped out of that guy's mouth after I'd been holding the thing for a couple of minutes. 

There are a lot of things we wanted you to know about, so they're grouped to make it easier on you:

THURSDAY
SuperFarm Farmers Market
Shopping and fun on the farm for the whole family.

Scottsdale ArtWalk

FRIDAY
Motorcycles on Main. 
6:00-10:00PM in downtown Mesa.  Motorcycles, entertainment, shops open late.  If you're lucky the guys with the snakes will be there. 

First Friday in downtown Phoenix
Lots of art exhibits and galleries for the adults. Free adults-only night at the Science Center. Free admission to the Children's Museum of Phoenix for the kids.

And... are you looking for a little Labor Day trip to get out of the heat? Head to Wilcox for Apple Annie's Harvest Celebration, to Taylor for the Sweet Corn Festival, or to Flagstaff for the Coconino County Fair.
