Surprise Entry: Gilbert, AZ, Named One of the Best Cities for Halloween Celebrations
Halloween in the United States is a big deal, but some cities know how to do it better. WalletHub has ranked the best places for Halloween in 2023. New York City snagged the top spot, mainly due to its epic Greenwich Village street party.
While Gilbert, Arizona, may not be a usual suspect for Halloween revelry, it made its way into the top 10, securing the number 10 spot for Halloween fun. Gilbert residents are in for some spooktacular celebrations, but if you live in Birmingham, Alabama, you might want to sit this one out.
Join the Celebration: Coach Pain Academy's Special Veterans Day Workout
Get ready to sweat and salute! Coach Pain Academy and Verde at Cooley Station are hosting a special Veterans Day workout celebration. It's a high-energy event honoring our service men and women, including veterans, law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders.
The venue will be decked out in flags, the national anthem will play, and you can join these heroes in a challenging workout. Veterans and first responders get in free (with ID), while others can join for $25 (ages 18+) or $15 (ages 12-17).
Proceeds will benefit the 100 Club of Arizona. Let's work out and show our appreciation! đȘđșđž
