Florence Getting $1 Million Honky-Tonk in Moonshine Willy's
Dallas has Billy Bob's.
And in a couple weeks, Florence will have Moonshine Willy's.
Owner Harry Luge Sr. described the $1 million, multi-use entertainment facility as "the largest honky-tonk in the state."
"We have the real deal," Luge said. "This is a real honky-tonk, not a wannabe. Some places may have a country name, but this is a true country honky-tonk with live bull riding, bronc riding and special events. It's a one-of-a-kind facility."
Moonshine Willy's, which opens on Feb. 10, includes a 30,000-square-foot picnic area and a 25,000-square-foot pavilion. Altogether, Luge said, the facility can handle about 2,500 people. It has a liquor license, will serve barbecue and holds a stage with a complete sound system.

Free Family Caregiver Workshops through the CarePRO Program
Are you a family caregiver residing in Arizona and do you help care for someone with dementia or memory loss? Do you provide an average of four hours of care or supervision per day for that individual? Do you find caring for your loved one increasingly demanding of your time and energy?
If so, CarePRO (Care Partners Reaching Out) may be able to help you. Through our free workshops, you will learn:
· About dementia and its impact
· How to manage your frustration, irritation, and stress
· How to communicate with your loved one
· How to take better care of your own health
In addition, respite and transportation assistance may be available to help caregivers attend the workshops.
Workshops are being planned for Casa Grande, Florence, and Globe in February and March. Seating is limited and a pre-registration process is required.
For more information, please call Mindy at the Alzheimer’s Association Desert Southwest Chapter at 602-528-0545 x 210.

Pulte Homes has never planned for pickle ball courts as an amenity offering in the Parkside community. Tennis is the preferred amenity offering for an all ages/family oriented community. Due to the fact that the community is still in its early stages of development, the tennis courts are being underutilized. This will change over time and eventually the courts will become heavily utilized by the residents of Parkside for tennis lessons, leagues, tournaments and pick up matches. The Board has listened to feedback from residents that are interested in using the tennis courts for pickle ball and will allow for two courts to be temporarily striped (with tape) for informal pickle ball use by the residents. The remaining courts will be used strictly for tennis. Please note that tennis play still has the first priority use on all courts and that the Board and management will periodically review the usage and determine when the timing is right to return the two courts back to tennis.

MFCD awards Dam Repair Contract to FNF Construction
It's time to celebrate! After years and years of effort to get to this point, the Magma Flood Control District has finally completed 1) all of the engineering, design work and construction plans which define the needed repairs for the Dam, and 2) secured all of the funding necessary to complete construction of the needed Dam repairs, including verifying that all of the federal funding has been appropriated by congress and obligated by USDA NRCS for repair of the Magma Dam.
As a result, on April 1, 2011, the District has awarded the construction contract, and issued a notice to proceed, to FNF Construction, Inc. The Contract calls for construction to be completed by June 24, 2012. Over the next 30 to 60 days, the contractor and engineers will be finalizing the construction schedule and coordinating the details that must occur before FNF can mobilize and start construction. The District looks forward to successfully completing the Dam Rehabilitation and ultimately being able to provide the level of flood protection desired by those living downstream of the Dam. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Districts General Manager.
