A free family event: Safe Haven Trick or Treating at the Mesa Market Place Swap Meet!
Bring all your ghosts and goblins in costume and let then trick or treat their way through 1600 booths starting at the Food Court! Trick or Treaters will each get a trick or treat bag and will enjoy contests, surprises and treats throughout the day.
Entertainer Linda Keith will be in the Food Court creating fun for Trick or Treaters and parents, alike. She’ll deliver music, dancing, free goody bags, contests from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
Merchants join in the festivities, too, by offering up candy, treats, and toys! “We have 900 merchants stocking 1600 shop spaces! I think this is the biggest daylight trick or treat event in the state of Arizona,” said Joan Wells, Market Place event organizer.
Both young people and their parents are also invited to color pictures and write notes to be included in Care Packages destined to go to Armed Forces personnel stationed in the Middle East. Packages From Home (www.packagesfromhome.org) sends out thousands of Care Packages annually, and insists that each package has a handwritten note or colored picture inside. Each artist and note-writer will get an ice cream sandwich.

More than 100 vintage, classic, and modified cars, trucks, and motorcycles are expected to be on display in the hopes that car enthusiasts and animal lovers will stuff dollar bills into money bins set in front of each vehicle.
“Exhibitors are even encouraged to solicit votes (money) before the car show begins,” says Shirley Blahak, event organizer. “The goals of the car show are straight forward: to get together with other car aficionados, to have a good time, and to raise as much money as possible for the Arizona Humane Society.” It’s all in good fun because 100% of the money the vehicles raise will be donated to the Arizona Humane Society.
Each entrant will go home with a 2017 Charity Car Show dash plaque. The top five money makers will each be awarded an engraved remembrance.
The show, an annual event, is sponsored by Arizona Mini Owners, a cheerful group of newer and vintage Mini Cooper owners.

In past years, some of the shows entries have been unusual. Children caught up with the idea of raising money for charity have even entered their Tonka trucks and midget race cars. Other unusual entries have included bicycles and motorcycle trikes.
So if you have a vehicle you’d like to enter, big or little, no matter how many tires, you can get more information at www.mesamarket.com. There is a $10. charge to exhibit.

Modified Motorcycle Association hosts combination motorcycle and classic car show
The Modified Motorcycle Association, also known as the MMA has a new district here in Arizona, called the Superstition District, and they are jumping right in to start raising money for MMA’s mission and for Arizona StandDown (www.arizonastanddown.org), a veteran-oriented non-profit.
They are hosting a show called the ‘MMA Motorcycle & Classic Car Show’ on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2017 from 9:00am to 1:00pm at Mesa Market Place Swap Meet, at the intersection of Signal Butte Rd. and East Baseline Rd. in Mesa, AZ. It is designed to be a family and community event.
Both the MMA and Arizona StandDown are non-profit organizations. Arizona StandDown will receive 20% of all the show’s proceeds with the MMA receiving 80%.
The MMA is not just a riding group like so many others but has serious and substantial safety and educational goals. The MMA teaches education of drivers toward awareness of motorcycles, motorcycle safety and the group has their own legislative action committee.
They even have a successful outreach campaign to educate school children about motorcycle safety because the MMA is a member of AMSAF, the Arizona Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Federation (amsaf.org).
Their website is http://mma-az.org where you’ll find more information. The Arizona branch of the MMA also has four other districts: the Eagle/Leather District, the Rim Country District, the Verde Valley District, and the White Mountain District.
All of MMA’s districts will participate in the Superstition District’s October 7st Motorcycle & Classic Car Show, so there will be quite a few motorcycles and trikes at this show.
Each vehicle will have a collection bin in front of them. The goal of the show is to collect as much money because the ten vehicles that collect the most money will win engraved remembrances.
“We expect more than 200 motorcycles, vintage, classic, and modified cars and trucks to participate in the hope that enthusiasts will stuff dollar bills into money bins set in front of each vehicle,” said Dawn Kackley, MMA, Superstition District’s Show Director.
Exhibitors are even encouraged to solicit votes (money) before the car show begins. The goals of the show are straight forward: to get together with other aficionados, to have a good time, and to raise as much money as possible for the MMA and for Arizona StandDown. It’s all in good fun because 100% of the money the vehicles raise will be donated to these non-profit organizations.
And there will be a real treat for military collectors at the show, too. Dr. Baron Smith is bringing in his Vietnam era helicopter (1970), a Series III OH-6A Hardbelly and a ‘Deucy’ M35 triple-axle 2 ½ ton cargo truck.
There is a $20. charge per vehicle to register to exhibit ($25.for registering after September 29, 2017.) Special accommodations can be made if entire car clubs or motorcycle clubs want to exhibit in a group together.
So if you have a vehicle you’d like to enter, big or little, no matter how many tires, you can get more information by contacting Dawn Kackley: 480-213-1184 and soloridergal@aol.com. Information will also be available at www.mesamarket.com.
The event is free to the public (except for donations they choose to make.) Parking and admission is always free at the Mesa Market Place.
The event runs from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Mesa Market Place is open 7am to 4pm Signal Butte & Hwy 60. 10550 E. Baseline Rd. Mesa. 480.380.5572. www.mesamarket.com.
