For all those who enjoyed the annual Baja Fiesta Cruise in January, I hope you got plenty of rest because February looks to be another wild month at Sun City Shadow Hills. Kicking things off this month is the Performing Arts production of Love Letters starring Ellen Crawford from E.R. fame and Daniel J. Travanti from Hill Street Blues. The show will be sure to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day, when we will rock the Montecito Clubhouse with two live performances by the Oak Ridge Boys. Tickets for VIP seating are still available. Get up close and personal with the stage legends by purchasing tickets to the Valentine’s Day event along with tickets to the March production of Showtime Santa Fe. If you did not yet get the chance to stop by and enjoy the comedic talents on display at our new comedy club, make sure you catch the fun at the next installment on February 17. You can also spice up your life with dancing, Margaritas, and more on Salsa Night on February 18. The Del Webb Fitness Challenge will get the fun started early February 20, so make sure you come out and cheer on your neighbors if you are not competing. We need to keep that championship trophy safe and sound in the Fitness Center, and it’s going to take every top athlete and their loyal fans to do it. You will see new additions to the competition this year including the obstacle course. Let the adrenaline flow as we take on our sister communities of Sun City Apple Valley, Solera Diamond Valley, Solera Oak Valley, and Solera Kern Canyon. We invite everyone to take advantage of all the great discounts being offered in our merchants program. If you have not been out to meet some of the businesses, you can stop by the clubhouse on Monday, February 22, after the Board meeting, from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. when Lifestyle will be hosting our Meet the Merchants party. Free refreshments will be served.
