Since its grand opening in May 2006, the Amphitheater has been recognized as Northern Arizona’s largest outdoor venue. Flagstaff’s elevation also makes it the ideal place for spring, summer, and fall concerts and events. The general operating season runs from April through October. The Amphitheater has a capacity of 2,100 general admission lawn seats and 650 fully covered orchestra seats.  Camping is also available onsite through the Fort Tuthill County Park Campground for special events and festivals.

Initiated by the county’s lead environmental and natural resources department, Parks and Recreation, conscious efforts are made in terms of energy conservation and environmental sustainability. It is landscaped with native plants that require less water. Natural lighting is optimized in the enclosed rooms. The Amphitheater promotes outdoor activities as it is linked to Flagstaff Urban Trail System and trails along Fort Tuthill County Park — Bridge, Soldiers and Highland. There is also a bike rack to encourage people to ride their bike around the facility and the park.


In 2011, Coconino County Parks & Recreation partnered with R Entertainment North to manage the Amphitheater, bring quality and unique entertainment opportunities, and propel tourism and economic development for Coconino County.

Ice Cream Country [infographic]

Posted: 09 Jul 2013 08:56 AM PDT

I live in Texas, and it is July. That means triple digit temperatures.  During the coming months, Texans gladly spend double on their electric bill, avoid getting in a vehicle for fear of melting, and require swimming pools be present at any daytime activities.

Now, if you give a Texan a swimming pool, he’s gonna want some ice cream immediately afterwards.  Don’t question this statement; it is a proven scientific fact.  I see the shift take place every summer; the level of ice cream consumption in Austin skyrockets.  Everywhere you turn kids are wiping tears away with their sticky fingers over a toppled ice cream cone.  I get it.  I would cry too if I had as little dexterity as they do.  Ice cream is a big deal.  Just yesterday I traded in my running shoes for a chocolate dipped soft serve at Sandy’s.

Speaking of ice cream, this infographic really spoke to me, recognizing not just one, but two Texas cities in the “Top Ten U.S. Ice Cream Consuming Cities.”  The only qualm I have with this infographic is that Blue Bell Creamery is missing.  For those of you out there that haven’t tasted the goodness of Blue Bell homemade ice cream, it’s time to put it on the bucket list.
