Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart Realty, Elite Group Scottsdale, Arizona
Here are some more fun things to do in April in Arizona - I think there is something for everyone - from a large number of food related activities to watching cardboard boats race at Tempe Town Lake to great ways to get out and about and enjoy nature.  I hope that you will find something that is perfect for you.  I love getting feedback, so please let me know if you enjoyed any of these activities or if there are others that you think I should include.  Have a great April!!
