I am sure you have heard the phrase "timing is everything". Well, there could not be a better time than now for you, me and everyone to support local businesses.

These are businesses or individuals who have a gift, a talent, a service, a skill, or a product to share with the world. Oftentimes one of the ways they are able to promote their business is through public events. This weekend on Saturday, September 24 there are several of these events happening around the Greater Phoenix area. I would like to personally invite you to get out and visit at least one of them, if not all of them.

One is a WellnessNBeauty Convention in Central Phoenix. Another is in Scottsdale near Shea & Scottsdale Road and is the longest-standing Spiritual Fair in the Valley. The third is a Psychic Fair in Mesa. There may be more that I am not aware of. If you know of one, please go and support those businesses. Make this Saturday a day of exploring and enjoying our fall weather. And, most importantly, helping our community thrive by purchasing and using the products or services these businesses provide.

Below is information about each of these events, including information about two upcoming events - one in Sedona and the other in Phoenix. Click on the picture for each event for the full details, or to contact the event organizer.
