🏆 Most popular this week

Curated by popular demand — here are this week’s most-clicked events, local spots, and stories.

Echoes of resilience showcased: Triumph in Tragedy, a traveling exhibit from Arizona Jewish Historical Society, shares rarely shared Holocaust survivor stories statewide, with displays open in Scottsdale and Prescott and on view through 2026 — see where and when to visit.

Prescott Farmers Market @ Prescott Farmers Market | Saturday (1/10) at 9:30 AM – Prescott’s Saturday farmers market takes over the Dignity Health YRMC Miller Valley lot at 900 Iron Springs Road, where you’ll see your neighbors, meet your farmers, and actually know your food. Yes, the tomatoes taste like tomatoes, and the small talk is premium grade — see the event listing.

A nonprofit market tradition: The Prescott Farmers Market opened January 3 with Arizona citrus, new vendors, and volunteer opportunities. Named Arizona’s top market for the fourth time, PFM expects visits from Arizona Mushroom Company — get all the details.

A powerhouse lineup awaits: Findlay Toyota Center is gearing up for a busy 2026 with concerts, family fun, and live shows. Styx will perform January 11, with Clint Black set for March 27. The Harlem Globetrotters, North America Arenacross Championship, The Barricade Boys, and Three Dog Night are also on the calendar later this year. Check out the full lineup.

Compassion on the front lines: Arizona Crisis Team offers 24/7 support in Yavapai County, with volunteers providing free help after crises and earning praise from the Prescott Fire Department for their community impact — learn what services they provide.

Warm up your space: From in-house small-batch candles to locally made decor and gifts, Magpie Home & Gift helps refresh any room without the “who am I now?” vibe. The pieces feel thoughtful, warm, and easy to love, whether for your own space or a friend’s.

Are you overpaying? The national average for car insurance is around $175 per month. I was paying over $300 for ONE car until I checked out various quotes, switched providers, and ultimately cut my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably losing money too — this free comparison tool makes it easy.

Gold & silver are hot: Gold just had it’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150% in 2025… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. If you’re curious about adding precious metals to your portfolio as a market hedge, American Hartford has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.

A new haircare solution: My hair’s been thinning and I’ve been quietly ignoring it, hoping it’ll fix itself. Plot twist… it hasn’t. When I finally started looking into what I should do, there were so many options I didn’t know where to start. I stumbled on Keranique, and its simplicity really sold me. One kit, no pills, no choosing products, and no confusion whatsoever. It’s also on sale with a money-back guarantee (although I doubt you’ll need it).
