Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, October 15. We are waking up to clear fall skies and a crisp Flagstaff morning, making it a perfect day to check out what’s happening around town and beyond.
First, a note on public safety. Yesterday afternoon, Flagstaff police responded to the Bluffs Senior Living Community on East Butler Avenue for a tense situation involving a possible explosive device. While no injuries were reported and authorities responded swiftly, this is a reminder to stay connected to official updates whenever incidents like this arise. Our local responders are working hard to keep everyone safe and secure.
Shifting to community happenings, art lovers still have time to enjoy the Plein Air Photography Festival, which runs through October nineteenth. This celebration invites you to see the region’s landscapes through the eyes of Arizona and Native photographers. Meanwhile, over at NAU’s Clara M. Lovett Art Museum, the Prints People Power exhibition highlights bold printmaking from the American Southwest and beyond, telling stories of culture, struggle, and human connection.
If you’re seeking hands-on activities, the East Flagstaff Community Library is inviting teens to get creative with Frankentoys. Build your own wild contraption in a fun, spooky session—the perfect way to dive into the Halloween spirit. Speaking of which, Spirit Halloween is now open at the Flagstaff Mall, offering costumes, decorations, and party essentials to ensure your celebrations are on point this season.
For the young and young-at-heart, the Overlook Vista Artisans continue to bring authentic Native crafts to Oak Creek, weather permitting. Explore jewelry, pottery, and more, all handcrafted and rooted in regional tradition. And for U.S. military veterans, the Artists' Coalition of Flagstaff is offering free art programs—led by professional local artists—to foster creativity and community.
If your idea of fun is a little adventure, there is still time to join the Amazing Scavenger Hunt along Route 66 today. Teams will dash through downtown landmarks, solving puzzles and making memories. Meanwhile, over at Mother Road Brewing Company, mark your calendar for some funky live music with The Coveralls on Sunday afternoon, perfect for unwinding with friends and family.
In sports, the NAU Lumberjack volleyball team hits the road this week with matches against Eastern Washington. Although we’ll have to cheer them on from afar, their season is in full swing and they are always worth following.
A quick update for everyone who relies on Social Security or Supplemental Security Income, especially with the ongoing federal government shutdown. Payments will continue as usual, though you may run into delays if you need to access certain administrative services. Details about next year’s cost of living adjustment will be announced later this month.
Finally, for those seeking connection or support, NACA’s Early Recovery and Domestic Violence Support groups are meeting this afternoon, as they do each week, creating safe spaces to heal and move forward together.
That’s a full slate of Flagstaff life for today, from community action to the arts, spooky creativity to local sports. This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
