"Flagstaff's Spooky Season Continues: Nightlife, Family Fun, and Sustainability Efforts"

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, November first, twenty twenty-five. Let’s get started with what’s buzzing around town. After a chilly Halloween night, downtown Flagstaff comes alive again tonight with Nightmare on Aspen Avenue at the Orpheum. This annual spectacle transforms Aspen Avenue into a world of ghoulish glamour and creative costumes, with music, dancing, and a full-scale drag show hosted by the fabulous Lilith Gore, Cucuy, and Buckethead. Doors open at eight and the show gets rolling by nine, so if you love Halloween and love drag, you won’t want to miss one of Flagstaff’s most colorful nights of the year. Tickets are cheaper online than at the door, so grab yours early and enjoy the show. For families looking to stretch spooky season into November, Village Camp Flagstaff continues its Halloweekend fun today from two to nine, and if you haven’t gotten your fill of trunk-or-treating, head over to Americana Motor Hotel from five to seven for a candy-filled Route 66 Car Club event. If your jack-o-lanterns are starting to droop, bring them to the Pumpkin Smash Bash on Monday at the Downtown Library West Lawn from four to five, and help turn holiday fun into compost for the community. This morning, pups and their people can swing by High Country Humane for a low-cost vaccine clinic from eight to ten. It’s first come, first served for the first forty pets, so get an early start. Science lovers of all ages can head to Willow Bend from nine thirty to eleven thirty for Science Saturday’s Renewable Energy Extravaganza, a free, hands-on celebration of green technology and exploration. If you’ve got broken gadgets and a Saturday project in mind, the Fix It Clinic at the Joe Montoya Community Center runs from ten to two with volunteers ready to help you revive just about anything. In sports, Coconino High is riding high after defeating Flagstaff Eagles forty-seven to twenty-one in the city championship. That caps off Flagstaff’s season at two and eight, with the Coconino Panthers heading into the playoffs on a high note. It’s a record-setting run, and fans are already buzzing about next week’s playoff matchups. Up on the college gridiron, NAU’s Lumberjacks staged a dramatic comeback at home against Idaho last night but ultimately fell short in overtime, thirty-five to thirty-two. The Skydome crowd saw a spirited late surge, and now all eyes are on next Saturday’s Homecoming game against Northern Colorado. Flagstaff’s arts calendar remains packed. The original musical The Hardy Girls, featuring twelve new songs by local writer Sara Bendel Ryan, continues its run at Theatrikos Theater this weekend, with shows today and tomorrow. Music lovers have plenty of options tonight, including a benefit concert for Sean Blancher at The Hive at seven, Driftwood Quintet performing El Tango Nuevo at the Coconino Center for the Arts at seven thirty, and Jake Lee playing at Historic Brewing from seven thirty to nine thirty.
