Hi -
If I had a brain I would have called six weeks ago and ordered one of those little Phoenix "Key" booklets for March events...

Anyway...heading to PHX (okay, North Scottsdale) for a little sun and baseball... a few years back we just happened upon the Cavalia horse show near our hotel and went. Another time we passed a sign for a musical and went to see that. But I'd prefer not to depend on such serendipity again... could someone share a few thoughts on activities that will be going on March 15 - 22? Anything special at the Desert Botanical Garden, or Zoo... Any big "event" going on? I forget the good website I used to visit for activities, so please remind me?

We've sort of done it most -- but not all -- e.g. we've never really spent much time in downtown PHX. We also have done day trips to Tucson, Bisbee, Flagstaff, Sedona...been out to Yuma and up to Four Corners. I'm not so much a big shopper in terms of the outlets...but we do like interesting excursions to little towns.

Thanks for any suggestions...there's always the tried and true (revisiting much of the above) but I'd like to do at least one thing new this visit!

You could try to get kidnapped. That seems to be all the rage right now...

All kidding aside, I think the Ostrich Festival in Chandler is happening sometime in March. That thing's always...interesting.

You might try the things to do section on the Arizona Republic web page:

www.azcentral/thingstodo (broken link)

It has listings for most any date and things happening on that date. Very well organized.

Default Chihuly exhibit question too

Thanks everyone! I did happen upon the Chihuly exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden -- we are getting reservations! Very excited about that.

If anyone has already gone...I'm assuming that the 4 - 8 p.m. slot gives you the opportunity to see the glass both in daylight and the ones that are lit up for night?? Assume that's not a "separate" reservation? Any tips on going to the exhibit or the best way to walk it?

Also...any experience with any of the following theater performances?

Rent - Gammage Auditorium Tempe
Les Mis Phoenix Theater
Murder More or Less - Dinner Theater
Guys and Dolls (somewhere, forget)
Murder at Savings and Loan Peoria. May be a dinner theater.?

I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven if "Forever Plaid" were playing but alas, not until August....

Thanks so much again!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is playing at the Orpheum in Phoenix....but the 15th is the last performance.

I haven't seen "Rent," but the acoustics at the Gammage are wonderful.
