Aside from the amazing weather, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reason to get out and enjoy this time of the year: spring training baseball. Nowhere else is Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite pastime more a part of the culture and community than right here in the West Valley. Home to nine of the 15 Major League Baseball teams that call the Valley their spring training home, the West Valley hosts an impressive roster of teams that includes the Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers. From March 3 to April 2, teams will practice their skills and play against each other in preparation for the regular season. With multiple games being played almost every day, there will be no shortage of baseball action to be experienced and enjoyed. Springtime also brings a number of community events and celebrations to the West Valley. From the Litchfield Park Art & Culinary Festival, to the Glendale Folk & Heritage Festival, the community is brimming with opportunities to see wonderful art, taste local cuisine and even learn about the history and heritage of the West Valley area. One such event is Peoria Pioneer Days, a family event that celebrates the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with a parade of more than 40 entries and a community lunch near the Peoria Historical Society Museum. 0EOI 4PIEWERX

The fun begins at Lake Pleasant’s marinas, Pleasant Harbor and Scorpion Bay. Located on the southeastern shores, Pleasant Harbor offers boat slips and moorage, boat and watercraft rentals, RV hook-up sites, and a marina village featuring a restaurant, convenience store and fashion boutique. On the western shores is Scorpion Bay, Lake Pleasant’s newest marina, which opened in 2009.
