And, since this is a family-oriented event, attendees are asked to please wear a Halloween costume or a red-white-blue costume if you will be participating in the parade. This year's theme is "patriotic" to go along with the London Bridge Days parade theme. The parade will begin at 5:00 p.m.
The Lake Havasu City Fall Fun Fair will be selling tickets for the games at 25¢ each, with proceeds going to over 40 different contributing organizations. There will also be a talent show from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lake Havasu Aquatic Community Center.

Lake Havasu City needs more supporters to ban together to walk in the upcoming 11th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk on October 3rd. The event is less than two weeks away and it's still quite a few walkers short of last year's turn out.
Lake Havasu City's 10th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk saw over 1,100 walkers. This year, there have only been 800 walkers to register so far. Some blame the economy on the low turnout, but there is still time to register. Let's encourage one another to ban together to walk for this great cause.
The event will be held on October 3rd at 8:00 a.m. on 100 Park Ave. in the south parking lot of the Aquatic/Community Center. Proceeds from the event will go to help women receive $10 mammograms regardless of insurance benefits. Women in need of mammograms can sign up at the community health fair on October 3rd from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Aquatic Center. Women under the age of 30 must have a doctor's order to get the mammogram done.
Those interested in walking in the Lake Havasu City 11th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk can preregister for $35. The rate increases to $45 on the day of the walk. Checks and cash will be accepted at the Havasu Community Health Foundation at 2126 McCulloch Blvd. For more information about the event, you can visit their website at www.havasucommunithealth.org.

Ever wonder what would happen when you get city council members, the local police, the fire department and great pineapples all together? Well, in Lake Havasu City, when you put all four together, you get the first ever Hospitality Association Great Pineapple Race 2009.
So, if you've ever wondered if your local councilmen could out-paddle your local police and fire department, then head out to the Nautical today. The race begins at 5:00 p.m. in front of the Nautical and the Turtle.
There will also be many local business teams that will be participating for their chance on one of the 21 canoe outrigger paddling teams. The purpose of the event is to help raise membership and awareness for the Hospitality Association.
The best thing about this event is that it's free for everyone. However, there will be a $5 charge for appetizers and a drink from the Turtle for those who want it.
The canoes have been provided by the Lake Havasu City Outrigger Canoe Club, who has also provided a steer person to help with the navigation of each canoe. The three fastest times will win.
This will definitely be good old fashioned entertainment and sounds like a lot of fun. While there, the Lake Havasu City Hospitality Association is offering ½ off their membership fees.

According to the latest Lake Havasu City Stats report from the Lake Havasu Association of REALTOR®, home sales were up again in July 2009 compared to the same time last year. This continues the upward trend that began late last year. Residential home sales in Lake Havasu City were up 42.8% (140 units in July 2009 vs 98 units in July 2008), vacant land sales were up 33.3% (12 units sold in July 2009 vs 9 units in July 2008) and multi-family homes were up 150% (5 units sold in July 2009 vs 2 in July 2008). The average sell price for a single-family home ($187, 627) is still lower than the same time last year ($251,554) but it has increased from June 2009 ($173,603) and May 2009 ($185,541). The total active listings for the month of July were slightly lower than the month before. If this trend continues, it appears that the Lake Havasu real estate market may be beginning to stabilize.

Here is an interesting strategy to sell a home that I recently came across and thought I would share it with the readers of my blog. Many Feng Shui believers are now using the same technique with their mind to sell their home.
Many believe that there is a definite fear in today's market that they have to overcome with their mind. Therefore, with the right mindset, many more prospective buyers will be attracted to your home.
Feng Shui-ing the mind means sustaining a positive, high energy mindset. Those who practice in Feng Shui believe this is vital to attracting the desired outcome. The mindset is what impacts our beliefs, 
feelings and thoughts.
Here are some tips that I found to Feng Shui your mind to help sell your home:
* Focus and clear the mind. Picture the perfect sale and see yourself placing the sold sign on it. Also, decide the ideal number of days you want the home to be on the market. Be clear in your mind about what you want and focus on that. Channel your energy by attracting what you want.
* Form harmony between your desires and your energy by having the desire to have what you want. If you believe you already have what you want, your energy vibrations become more matched to your desire, bringing a stronger attraction.
* Rid your mind of mental clutter. Your mind needs free-flowing energy without encountering harmful obstructions. By clearing the mind of mental clutter, the law of attraction will work for you. Therefore, clear away all self-limiting beliefs by doing some soul searching.
* Follow the Feng Shui formula by properly practicing the Law of Attraction to the results you want to sell your home for the amount you want and in the time frame you are looking for.
For those who find this challenging to do on their own, be confident that there is always a good real estate professional to guide you through the entire process to make your life a little easier.
