Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 20th of September.
Good morning, Scottsdale.
🏘️ Community
Scottsdale Police will increase enforcement of child passenger safety laws during Child Passenger Safety Week from Sept.
21-27 as part of a national campaign with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety & National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The campaign includes National Seat Check Day on Sept. 27 to remind drivers to use car seats properly.
🎭 Culture
Scottsdale Arts is launching new shows for the 2025-26 season to mark Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' 50th anniversary.
The season includes the interactive off-Broadway production DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern with five performances and Grammy-nominated Trombone Shorty's energetic show at the East Bowl amphitheater.
🏛️ Government
Ted Cooke, former CAP general manager, was withdrawn as nominee to lead the Bureau of Reclamation after upper river states complained, leaving the agency without needed leadership as Colorado River talks move toward a Nov.
11 deadline — a decision that may worsen political divisions. Rep. Stanton said Cooke had the proven skills to manage water needs amid ongoing shortages.
Erika Kirk, a Scottsdale native and former athlete who won Miss Arizona USA, was named CEO and board chair of Turning Point USA on Sept.
18 after her husband was fatally shot. She earned degrees and led charities after graduating from Notre Dame Preparatory in Scottsdale — her strong background helped her take on the new role.
🏥 Health
On Oct. 12, fitness and wellness-minded citizens will attend a free family-friendly event at The Promenade Scottsdale featuring BODY20, Club Pilates, and PVOLVE classes — with a sauna, cold plunge, coffee bar and more.
The event takes place near the Capital Grille lawn at 16234 N. Scottsdale Rd.
Experts found that getting vaccines in the same arm may boost the immune response — a 2023 study in eBioMedicine showed stronger lymph node activity in those who followed this method.
Arizonans are advised to get their flu shot in September and October — updated COVID shots require a prescription due to FDA and state law restrictions.
📰 Lifestyle
Fear Farm has relocated to 1475 N.
McClintock Drive for Scottsdale Halloween 2025 to offer guests better parking and a larger event space. The event will run from Sept. 26 to Nov. 2 and will feature four themed haunted attractions along with an eight foot tall hay maze replacing the old corn maze — improvements that also bring nearby dining options closer.
🏈 Sports
After a 36-46 season, the Suns kept seven players and will begin training camp on Sept.
25 with the regular season opener on Oct. 22 against the Sacramento Kings. Thirteen players left the team, including Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Bol Bol—each now set to join new teams.
