Temecula's western roots are revisited during Western Days, May 19 and 20 with old west skits, high noon shootouts, western music, a chili cookoff, trick roper and an old time banjo man.

Old Town Temecula's Gunfighters will host the old west skits and gunfights both days at 4th and Old Town Front Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.   At high noon both days the Temecula Gunfighters treat the crowd to a comical bank robbery featuring dozens of bad guys in a final shoot out with the sheriff and his posse. Live western music adds to the old west flair.  

Reality Rally returns to Temecula Valley April 13^th-15^th, 2012, and registration is in full swing for the special opportunity to be a part of this amazing Fun for Funds weekend.  

 Due to the immense success of Reality Rally 2011, this year’s Reality Rally has not only garnered regional interest and draw but a national and even an international focus.  Registration is open to anyone that wants the opportunity to compete with their favorite reality star.

 Reality Rally is a four hour "Amazing Race" kind of game, where participants will be walking (or running) throughout Temecula’s Old Town in a competition involving crazy activities and fun challenges for all ability levels, all for the coveted prize (trophy) and bragging rights but most importantly raising funds for Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center.

  ”I thought my excitement could never be matched when I made it on Survivor after eight years of trying. I am equally, if not more, excited to bring back the second year of Reality Rally which after last year’s success is being touted as the Premier Reality Fundraising event in the nation," says event founder Gillian Larson who was a contestant on Survivor: Gabon.

Ballroom dancing is the best activity for adults that are in their “Prime.” It’s not only a perfect form of exercise but there are numerous other benefits as well. It is a low impact form of exercise, so you will not hurt yourself doing it and as long as you can walk, you can dance! It also helps fight Alzheimer’s because it forces you to continue to use your brain to learn a brand new skill. You are not only thinking about your feet and the patterns, but also driving around the dance floor, and maybe even talking to your dance partner all at the same time! It is excellent for the mind!

It is also a great social platform. Whether you want to enjoy it as a single or as a couple, there is a place on the dance floor for you. There is nothing better for the sprit, body, and mind than to have the connection and interaction with other human beings. At Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Temecula, you will find some of the best people from the valley dancing together. Ballroom dancing is the one activity that brings together people from their twenties to their seventies and beyond. It is one the best things to come to the studio and see a 20 year old dancing with a 70 year old at one of the studio’s group classes or weekly parties. No where else do we get that opportunity! Everyone has a place to belong at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Temecula!
