If you live in North Phoenix and want to take your little ones to visit Santa, you'll have the chance to do so at our very own Deer Valley Airport! Christmas in the desert has always been a little different here in Phoenix. Because there is no snow for a sleigh, Santa has to resort to other ways of getting around - like a helicopter!This December, Santa will be flying in via chopper to visit with local residents. This is the fourth year in a row that Santa will be stopping by at KDVT before Christmas. You can meet him at the Deer Valley Airport Restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Visits will last for a few hours and begin at the times scheduled below:
- November 27, 2010: 10:00 a.m.
- December 4, 2010: 10:00 a.m.
- December 11, 2010: 10:00 a.m.
- December 12, 2010: 3:00 p.m.
- December 18, 2010: 10:00 a.m.
- December 19, 2010: 3:00 p.m.

Hi I am in London Uk and doing some family history for a friend who lived in Phoenix as a boy. He lived at what he recalls was the Blue Bonnet Trailer court and I have tried to trace this. In the 40s there was a trailer/motor court by that name at 811 s 19th Ave but by the late 50s early 60s its described as a Blue Bonnet Apartments and also Blue Bonnet motel. I think its on the site that today is Terrell's car park. Thing is he doesn't recognise the area when we look at it on google earth. I was hoping someone may remember the Blue Bonnet or anything about it. The lady who run it in the late 60s was an English lady called Ruby Benson but she is only listed as living at Bensons Lodge in the 1940's. She came back to England for a little while in the 1950s before heading back to Sun Valley. When it was listed in the phone book others are registered as being in Charge but I think when Ruby Benson was the manager it was in decline and wasn't advertised. If anyone has any memories of this I would very much appreciate receiving any comments. Thanks
