Spring into Summer, Anthem Style

We're not into triple digits yet,                       

but summer's just around the corner and it's time to enjoy the special events of spring . . . music, theater, swimming, butterflies in a rainforest habitat. As you plan your summer, choose from the many activities and classes Anthem has to offer the whole family.

Music in May, Anthem's 11th Annual Free Concert Series returns to the ACC Community Park Amphitheater every Friday night in May, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.  Online at Anthem covers the event in detail, but here's the high-caliber line-up:

May 3:  Southbound - current and classic country, southern rock, classic rock

May 10:  Apple Beatles Tribute Band - re-creations of everybody's favorites
May 17:   The JJ's Band - high-energy dance, funk, soul, disco, and Motown from the 60's to today
May 24:  Thaddeus Rose Band - three-piece show band covering hits from the 40's to today
May 31:  The Volcano Island Band - festive Calypso, Island, Reggae, Luau, and steel drum

There's no business like show business! We're lucky to have two wonderful theater groups in Anthem offering Summer Camps. Slots fill up fast, so register soon...

Devoted to promoting local theater for actors, dancers, and singers of all ages, Starlight offers two 2-week-long camps (register here) topped off with performances of two children's classics, priced at $250 per workshop for members, $275 for non-members.

"Butterflies are self-propelled flowers."

Heinlein in their recent article, "The Largest Butterfly Pavilion on the Continent"  about Butterfly Wonderland, a living rainforest experience opening May 25 at the new facility located in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Scottsdale. This one's worth a field trip!

Just down the road from Anthem, time travel to the 1800's Pioneer Living History Museum and see for yourself how the Arizona pioneers lived.

Holiday in the Park
Friday, December 7, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Anthem Community Park lights up your life! Meet friends and neighbors for some holiday cheer. Sing carols, sip hot chocolate, and ride the Daisy Mountain Railroad.  Click HERE for more info.

Holiday Extravaganza with Santa And Mrs. Claus
Saturday, December 8, 9:00 a.m. to noon
Join Girl Scout Troop 2422 at Safeway Regency Center for oodles of fun, fun, fun! Bring a non-perishable food item to donate, in exchange for oodles of fun with Santa and Mrs. Claus--and the elves! Enjoy singalongs, storytelling, crafts, a cakewalk, facepainting... and more! Bring your own camera for pictures with Santa.



Enter the 2012 Anthem Holiday Lights Contest
Let your creativity shine, but be sure to do so by the Friday, December 14 deadline! Prizes will be awarded in two categories: Classical Design, traditional light displays, and Sights and Sounds of the Holidays, for light displays synched with music. Homes will be judged the week of December 17. Register here.

A Little Farther Afield . . .
If you don't mind a little driving, Linda and Dr. Dick Buscher have done a stellar job summarizing the best holiday events in the North Valley, in their article in last week's In&Out Magazine / Anthem News.
