The Fountain Hills Residential and Business Directory’s early discount deadline is approaching, and you have the opportunity to save 10 percent if you sign up by Friday, Oct. 18. The directory is delivered to every door in Fountain Hills along with our annual Dining Guide in March. The final deadline to reserve space is Jan. 17, 2020, but signing up a few months ahead will save you 10 percent.
If you’re not in the directory, I do encourage you to get an ad in. I hear from people in town all the time that they are shocked we still put out a phonebook but the reason for this is it gets results for our advertisers. I call my current advertisers every year and I never really get any hesitation about renewing for the upcoming year.

This past Friday Gina and I were fortunate to take the Desert Belle sunset cruise. This was a ribbon cutting event for Scott Sommers’ company, ProSkill Services. This was my first time on this cruise, and it was a great time.
The cruise takes you on a 45 minute ride to the other end of Saguaro Lake. Along the way you will see great scenery of the mountains surrounding the lake up close and a closer look of Four Peaks. On this night, we had a bonus sight: the nearly-full moon rising above the mountains and reflecting off the lake. Technically the full moon was Saturday but it was close enough.
There sometimes is live entertainment on the cruise as well as cocktails. I would highly recommended it if you’re looking for something to do. This would also be a great way to show off the Arizona scenery to your family or guests visiting from out of town.
I want to thank Scott Sommers and ProSkill for the invite. Gina and I had a great time.
