On The Cover September 2019

Finally cool weather is ahead and along with that are some great autumn events. Now is the transition time to fall and winter outdoor activities, including all that is available on local deserts, mountains, rivers and lakes.

And, for women especially, the how to get the most out of the myriad of outdoor activities in the Southwest, is what "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" is all about. It's coming up soon - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Sept. 6-8 - at Friendly Pines Camp near Prescott. Sponsored by the Arizona Wildlife Federation in partnership with the Arizona Game & Fish Department, this is a wonderful learning opportunity supplemented by fun and entertainment.

Another outdoor feature this fall is the first annual Peoria Country Music Fest on Saturday, Oct. 19 at Pleasant Harbor. Attendees can look forward to an exciting day of great country music, bull riding, a cigar lounge and corn hole. And, of course, there are all the amenities that are included with time spent at Lake Pleasant: dining, boating, and camping. This promises to be a great event.

Rounding out this full, fun fall schedule is the 8th annual Sand-Water-RV Expo at Lake Havasu on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 16-17. Here you will find all you need to start enjoying the Southwest's outdoors: off-road vehicles, RVs, boats (all kinds of craft), motorcycles, bicycles, and much more - plus all related accessories and services. Plan ahead for this exciting show with all you need to celebrate the cooler weather in the great outdoors.

So, we urge you to hop on board and enjoy at least one - preferably all - of these fantastic fall events.
