Ever wondered what's going on with the motorcycles in the parking lot early mornings at the Fantastic Indoor Swapmart? That's Arizona Motorcycle Rider Training putting students through their paces.

When AZMRT's instructors are done with students in their classroom facility, they come out to the SwapMart to test their ability on the range course they build on our site. The MSF Certified Coaches provide an excellent experience for riders of all skill levels.

For more information call AZMRT at (623) 979-1839 or (623) 435-5699, or visit their website at AZMRT.

We got the party started July 31-August 1 for our Grand Re-opening and we're committed to continuing it through the rest of the year (and at least another 20 years!)

We opened with Vernon Parker, former Mayor of Paradise Valley and Congressional Candidate. We invited him to the ribbon cutting to reintroduce the Fantastic Indoor Swapmart to the community and our guests, and he was keen to meet with and talk to management, the vendors and our guests to discuss the impact of the current economy on small business and the community.

With hundreds of local small business owners at the Swap Mart, we were pleased to have him take questions and talk about his campaign and the things he hopes to do in Congress.

We cannot officially endorse Mr. Parker, but we hope that, if you are in his district, that you will visit his website and consider his platform.

Vernon Parker for Congress

Sometimes Saint Nick just can't wait, so he made an appearance at the Fantastic Indoor Swapmart to get a jump on the end of the year.

Kids were excited to see him, and Santa didn't disappoint.

We're counting the days until he returns and he will definitely be back this December to make sure that every good little girl and boy has a chance to meet with him.

Santa Claus will be reappearing at the Fantastic Indoor Swapmart starting December 3.

One of the uses of the building that the Fantastic Indoor Swapmart now resides in was as a showplace for traveling burlesque, Vaudeville and other stage performers. It's only appropriate that Phoenix staple Pat McMahon stopped by to sign photos of him with Wallace and Ladmo back in the KPHO days when he played one of dozens characters from the Wallace and Ladmo show.

He and his parents also have a background in Vaudeville and his memories of the old days and the sights and crowds from some amazing places were sharp and hilarious.

Mr. McMahon is very active on AZTV and KTAR radio, and we and our guests had a blast reminiscing with him and learning about his new projects.

We're always looking for new and interesting musical acts, corporate activities, entertainment and other activities both indoors in our 3 acre climate controlled building and outside in our wide-open parking lot. Everything from carnivals to car shows have been hosted out there - maybe you have a great idea too!
