Are You Feeling Lucky?
June 13th is a Friday. This Friday, to be exact. But before you hunker down in hopes of avoiding the curse of Friday the Thirteenth, you might want to consider trying to turn the luck around with a trip to the Arizona Museum of Natural History.
It was inevitable that one of the Night at the Museum events scheduled for the second Friday of the month would fall on the 13th day of the month at some point. Rather than giving into superstition, the Arizona Museum of Natural History has decided to buck tradition by offering visitors the opportunity to pan for gold and win free prizes by participating in their special Wheel of Fortune activity. Admission is free for museum members. Non-members under 18 years of age can get in for $3 while those 18 years old and older will pay $5. Admission includes access to the entire museum including the two newest exhibits "Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" and "PSI: Poop Scene Investigation".
Friday, June 13 is also the date of the next "Night Out" in downtown Mesa. Approximately 50 shops and businesses along Main Street between country Club Drive and Center Street will also be open late. The community events include an ice cream social and ice cream eating contests beginning at 7:15 p.m. at Main and Robson Streets. Many of the stores and businesses, some of which stay open until 10 p.m., offer discounts, special exhibits and other activities.
Feeling lucky or not it's a great time for everyone!
