Welcome

FOUNTAIN HILLS LIVE OVERVIEW You may not realize it, but you’re holding one of the most unique marketing concepts of its kind right now. This magazine and its sister companion, www.fountainhillslive.com, are products of The HUB Marketing Co-op, a new committee under the Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association’s (FHCCA) umbrella. The HUB is comprised of a group of like-minded nonprofit organizations and businesses in Fountain Hills, all of whom are dedicated to promoting the activities and events which make this Town so outstanding. Our members are profiled on the Community Resources page of the website and in this premier issue. Please read their stories and learn what makes them such an integral part of Fountain Hills. Speaking of our sister resource, the star of the show is our Community Calendar, which is filled with fun events and activities sponsored by Fountain Hills clubs, organizations and businesses. We hope you’ll log onto the website soon and bookmark its address so you always have it handy when out-of-town guests are coming for a visit, you’re looking to explore a new activity, or you just want to know when your favorite annual event is taking place. None of this would have been possible without the vision and financial support of some important entities in Town: the FHCCA, of course, but also the Four Peaks Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Fountain Hills. All three organizations not only understood the vision, but more importantly gave us the financial foundation we needed to build the infrastructures for both of these resources. The process of coming together has been a rewarding experience for all concerned. We’re convinced there’s always something to do in Fountain Hills. All you have to do is walk outside your front door and join in the fun.

The 62nd Annual Hashknife Pony Express rides through Fountain Hills to kick off the town’s “Fountain at 50” events.
