Hey Everyone,
It’s that time of year again: the temperatures are dropping, the license plates are changing colors, and getting a table at your favorite restaurant is becoming a competitive sport.
Welcome back, snowbirds!
We’re happy to see our seasonal patients returning to Cave Creek and Carefree. You bring familiar faces, fun stories, and the reassuring knowledge that somewhere else, someone is getting ready to shovel snow.
You also make a real difference to Arizona’s economy. An older ASU study of the 2003–04 season estimated roughly 300,000 seasonal visitors and $1 billion in spending. Those aren’t today’s headcounts or prices, but they show just how much our winter neighbors contribute!
Of course, snowbird season comes with a few trade-offs:
- Good: More customers supporting local restaurants and shops.
Trade-off: “Let’s just grab a quick dinner” now requires a reservation and a strategic planning committee. - Good: Our golf courses and recreation spots get plenty of love.
Trade-off: Your favorite tee time now belongs to someone who booked it before you woke up. - Good: Our neighborhoods come back to life as friends and neighbors return.
Trade-off: Those of us who stayed all summer have to start sharing again. We’re working through it.
All kidding aside, we’re glad you’re back. And to our year-round patients who survived another summer of seat-belt branding and steering-wheel burns: you deserve a little something, too.
Whether you just unpacked your suitcase or never left town, this offer is for you!
We look forward to seeing you—and hearing how you spent your summer somewhere your shoes didn’t melt.
Have a great weekend!
Your Foothills Chiropractic Team
