About the Performers
- ANNA COLLINS - 9:10 a.m. to 9:40 a.m.
Anna Collins is a sixteen-year-old singer/songwriter. Anna grew up in Gilbert, Arizona, but moved at age thirteen to Fargo, North Dakota where she knew no one for her brother’s hockey season. With the North Dakota days being long and cold, she began to write her music. Since then, Anna has moved back home to Gilbert. She has been writing, and playing guitar for the past 3 years as well as singing at different events around Arizona, and she hopes to continue to do so. Her goal is to use her music to inspire people to follow their dreams and goals no matter how small or big they may be.
- SILVERHAWKE - 9:55 a.m. to 10:25 a.m.
Silverhawke is a folk rock band with Vern Weiland, on acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals. Byran Williams on lead guitar and vocals, Bryan “Civ” Civitell on pedal steel, Zach Llewellyn on bass guitar and, rounding it all off and sending it home, Lakotah Weiland and Jessica Roosevelt on background vocals and percussions. Later, Lakotah, Vern’s daughter, began supporting on vocals. Lakotah introduced Zach Llewellyn to the group who stepped up and got down on bass. Last, but certainly not least, Jessica Roosevelt, Vern’s older daughter, recently moved home to AZ and completed the band by joining in on background vocals. Simple and complex, by coincidence, design and passion, SILVERHAWKE was born of good neighbors, friends, family, and a love for each other and a passion for music. …Enjoy!

Demonstrations
Provided by these community organizations:
- Blazin’ K9s
ANY dog can play flyball as long as they are physically fit to do so, social, and you want to have fun with them. Flyball is a relay race with four dogs on a team. The course consists of a starting line, hurdles spaced apart and a box. The dogs jump the hurdles and steps on a spring-loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. The dog catches the tennis ball and then runs back over the hurdles. When the dog crosses the starting line the next dog goes. The first team to have all four dogs run without errors wins the heat.

- AZ Disc Dogs
Dogs of all kinds can play frisbee. Many frisbee dogs also "cross-train" in other dog sports, including dog agility, flyball, herding, and obedience. Part of the popularity of the sport is its accessibility. All that is necessary to enjoy it is a level grassy playing area, a dog, and a frisbee. Also, a little imagination is an extra plus for Freestyle. It is estimated that over one million dogs play frisbee in the United States alone, though only a small percentage participate in organized competitions.

- Chandler PD K-9 Unit
The canines utilized by the Chandler Police Department are Belgian Malinois, and were selected due to the breed's durability and high energy level. Although not a widely recognized breed by the general public, the Belgian Malinois is popular with police departments around the world. The canine units have been working the streets of Chandler since 1974, and have been very successful in carrying out their assigned duties. The canine teams are additionally involved in conducting demonstrations for public and civic organizations. The dogs are a hit with children and adults alike, and open up an avenue of communication with officers.
