Project Book Babe
April 4
Faith Hochhalter, aka The Book Babe, is suffering from breast cancer. Fortunately, she’s made quite a few friends over the years as a children’s book buyer and booking agent.
There will be a benefit this weekend featuring live music, panel discussions with authors, and for small donations, sketches by popular comic strip artists are available.
The event is from 2 to 5p.m. and will be held in the auditorium of Marcos De Niza High School.
Tempe Music Festival

This weekend, Tempe Town Lake will be hosting more than just fish and random boaters.

Tickets range from $35 - $100 and can be purchased at livenation.com.
