In 2004, Maricopa County’s Parks and Recreation Department began implementing San Tan Mountain Regional Park’s Master Plan. The Master Plan called for a main park entry, and proposed two secondary trailheads to provide additional access to the park. In response to public demand regarding access, and the need for interconnection with local and regional trail systems, the plan identified one trailhead in the northern portion of the park, and another along the southern finger.

Early Sunday morning, a bar fight at the Gym Bar, 2510 E. Hunt Highway, led to the bar manager being assaulted and a 56-year-old female bar patron hospitalized with serious head injuries. Two suspects were arrested at the scene.

Now that Halloween is over and candy is overflowing, a local dentist has redefined the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.”  This Monday, Nov 2nd, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Affinity Dental at 21321 E Ocotillo Rd Suite #130 in Queen Creek and receive $1 per pound.  Dr. Kelly B. Wettstein is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars and glowing electric toothbrushes in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.

We have a winner! 

Congratulations to the McCaslin Family who beat out the other 11 finalists to win the title of 2015 San Tan Valley Spookiest House!  Way to go!
