Chicks With Picks to be showcased in concert series
Tuesdays at the Buffalo Chip
By Curtis Riggs

CAVE CREEK – Arizona women in music will be taking center stage at the Buffalo Chip in coming weeks as the Arizona Chicks With Picks concert series gets underway.
The idea to showcase the role of women musicians in the Valley and throughout the state came when Rondavous founder Pandy Raye and Help Me Rhonda’s Rhonda Hitchcock got together to see how they could highlight the role of women in music locally.
“It will be great to have a venue that showcases all women,” said Hitchcock, who kicked off the all-women’s Tuesday night series a couple of weeks ago. “I can’t wait to see it grow.” A different Arizona female musician will perform at the Chip beginning at 7 p.m. each Tuesday. Cave Creek’s own Daisy Mallory took the stage this week before Raye and Rondavous’ Joe Swafford closed out the night with their acoustic performance.
Twenty female Arizona singers and players will perform before a March 2 concert that will feature all of the women.
This concert will be held in the Wagon Camp behind the Buffalo Chip. An even larger reunion concert is being planned for the fall.
“Someone needed to feature all of this talent,” Raye said about why she is involved with the concert series. “There needs to be a showcase for these women.
People need to know they are out there.” Hitchcock is happy to be involved in the series because she sees many talented female musicians and wants to help further their careers.
Mikelle Leigh will perform next week on Tuesday, Nov. 20 and Susie Hopman will follow on Nov. 27.
Laura Sawosko will be the first performer in the series in December when she takes the stage on Dec. 4. Rondavous lead singer Amy Magnussen will perform on Dec. 11. Jeordie will follow on Dec. 18.

Come on down to Rawhide @ Wild Horse Pass!!! We play from 7pm-9pm.....bands all day and night!!!

LAKE PLEASANT HOSTS CAMPGROUND COOK-OFF
Calling all chefs!

(Morristown) – Have you been dying to try out a new recipe or do you simply enjoy the thrill of competition? If so, then the amateur Lake Pleasant Campground Cook-Off on Saturday, November 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. is calling your name! Chefs will have the opportunity to test their culinary skills in three categories: chili, stew and desserts.

Lake Pleasant is currently rounding-up chefs from around the Valley to participate in the event. Competing teams may consist of up to five people so bring your family, friends and neighbors to help you compete or cheer you along.

Spectators will have the pleasure of participating in drawings and demos, grooving to the tunes of Rondavous and enjoying savory samples of food. Spectators will also have the chance to cast votes for their favorite recipes in the campground and see the latest products from Sun City RV, Open Throttle Marine, and Jet Ski Unlimited.

Chefs interested in registering a team may do so by contacting the events coordinator at (602) 372-7460 ext. 200. There is a $50 registration fee per team. Spectator admission is $5, plus park entry. Children under 16 are free when accompanied by a parent.

Lake Pleasant Regional Park is located at 41835 N. Castle Hot Springs Road. Take Interstate I-17 north to the Carefree Highway (AZ 74) then head west to Castle Hot Springs Road (Milepost 19) where you’ll turn north. The park entrance is located on the east side of the road.
