If you were in the mall last night you couldn’t help but feel the energetic enthusiasm created by the AJR Brothers appearance and performance.  The band also shared the HOT 107.9 FM stage with British pop singer Katy Tiz.

As we have stated in the past, the Canyon (which has great views from as far as 80 feet high) is becoming a great spot to see live music.

US Navy veteran-turned housing visionary Robert Van Keuren, who flew over 200 combat missions in the Vietnam War, gave a speech and officially opened the Van Keuren Housing Complex last week.  He reminded the crowd that many of our veterans have been left unsheltered, and not necessarily homeless, since our country will always be their home.
