[dropcap]I[/dropcap]f you live in Anthem and experience perpetually sunny days and the beauty of our perfectly manicured community park on a daily basis, it’s easy to forget what a gift it is to call this place home. Each year, Anthem Days provides a chance to spend two days celebrating with thousands of friends and neighbors.
March 24 and 25, Anthem Community Park will be buzzing with more activity than usual for this free event. City Nights Band and Boomer take the stage, keeping the sounds going as the Rotary beer garden keeps the drinks flowing.
Little ones will enjoy a kids’ zone with bouncy inflatables and a free egg hunt on Softball Field No. 4. This year’s search will feature the Hippity Hop Band, Mother Nature and Peter Cottontail, and is sponsored by Christ’s Church of the Valley. An egg hunt for special needs children, sponsored by BrightView Landscapes, will precede the public hunt at 10:15 a.m. to make sure everyone has a chance to join in on the fun.
If sports are your forte, join the multi-sport challenge, sponsored by OSR Physical Therapy, on the park’s basketball courts Saturday.
Special thanks goes to ProSkill Plumbing, Heating and Air, this year’s title sponsor for Anthem Days.
Each year, the popular Frazier Shows Carnival opens ahead of the event, opening its gates this year Thursday, March 22, at 5 p.m. Carnival fun continues Friday evening, beginning at 5 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 1 p.m. Full access wristbands and coupons to ride can be purchased at the Anthem Community Center and Civic Building and at select local business and at the Anthem Youth Advisory Council booth at Anthem Days.
There is no charge to attend or to park. Just show up, have fun and celebrate our beautiful community and the people who make it special!
