[Phoenix] This too is a club-supported event and again not quite a NKM event. Take I-17 North about five miles from the Carefree Highway, north of Phoenix. Exit at the Anthem Way exit, then turn right and drive into the community. As you come to the park fountains, take another right (before the fountains) and proceed to the second parking lot on the left. The event is from 10am to 4pm, and will be a long day so bring your shade, water, and chairs. You will need to arrive early to get good parking because this will be a big event. This event is the second annual Anthem Days event so there will be lots of vendors, and events all over the place. The Fun Fly sponsors, the Tucson group, have requested that we bring our short line sets due to the limited space available. In this way, we should be able to get more people on the field at the same time. This will be the biggest event of the season, so come and join the fun.
