and Scottsdale
areas. This is what is considered high season when he have the confluence of
all the winter visitors here to avoid the cold and snow along with the shorter
term visitors here for many special activities that occur this time of
year. Nothing really compares to this
week for the height of activity. It is
car week here in the Valley of the Sun.
And the weather has been special ordered as well with high temps

exchanged.
If you prefer the high end autos and a more
reserved atmosphere, you have a few choices: Gooding& Company, at Scottsdale Fashion Square
on the 17th and 18th.
Gooding attracts the cream of the crop in classic and antique
automobiles and some of the most gorgeous cars you will ever see and Top Gear
