July 14, 2013 by Carmen Brodeur

Grayhawk residents – are these toasty temperatures keeping you indoors?

On Saturday, July 20, 2013 the Phoenix Zoo is pumping nearly 60 tons of snow for kids of all ages to enjoy. From 7-11a.m. families can experience winter in July and participate in winter themed games such as snowball contests and more.

The animals are getting in on the fun too. Zookeepers will feed giraffes, elephants and orangutans: fish-sicles, fruit-sicles and even blood-sicles. You won’t want to miss your favorite animals – cheetahs, giraffes, wild dogs and more – enjoy the winter wonderland this Saturday!

To keep everyone safe and happy, there will be sectioned off areas for children of differing ages.

Once the snow melts away kids and parents can move on to the Yakulla Caverns and Leapin’ Lagoon sections of the zoo to keep cool for the rest of the day.

Grayhawk residents have so many unique entertainment options to enjoy all summer long! And since it’s such a kid friendly city – there are always safe and educational family activities available nearby.

The “Hottest Race on Earth” to Take Place in Scottsdale on June 22

June 10, 2013 by Carmen Brodeur

Grayhawk residents, can you feel the burn? If you couldn’t before, you’re guaranteed to at the Scottsdale Beat the Heat race, dubbed the “Hottest Race on Earth.” The inaugural event is set to take place on Saturday, June 22, 2013. Runners from all across the country will flock to WestWorld in Scottsdale to run a race in honor of Phoenix’s hottest day in history – June 26, 1990. On that fateful June day in 1990, temperatures reached 122 degrees Fahrenheit. The scorching hot weather closed down offices, two-third’s of the city’s bus fleets and caused the cancellation of many flights.

The 11.22-kilometer or 5-kilometer race is scheduled to start at 2:47p.m. This is the exact time of day that the 122-degree record was hit in 1990. Obviously safety will be a huge concern throughout this race and it is recommended that runners wear protective gear and make an extra effort to stay hydrated. Professional Medical Transport is sponsoring the race so there are sure to be plenty of ambulances on hand for any heat-related or running injuries.

Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these runners. When racers cross the finish line they’ll enjoy plenty of sprinklers and a four-story inflatable water-slide to ensure a thorough cool-down.

An additional upside to this otherwise challenging race is the beautiful view runners will enjoy while racing through picturesque Scottsdale, AZ. An exciting and innovative event like “Scottsdale Beat the Heat” is just one more reason to love living in Grayhawk Scottsdale.
