Phoenix and the surrounding area is called the Valley of the Sun for good reason. The Phoenix Metropolitan area has the hottest climate of any major metropolitan area in the US. Phoenix is Arizona's state capital, the state's largest city and county seat for Maricopa County. A cosmopolitan city which opened METRO light rail service to downtown in 2009. The METRO light rail provides service to Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa offering stops near Sky Harbor International Airport, Arizona State University and along the downtown Central corridor. Convenient for downtown museums, concerts and arts events, the 20 mile initial line has made a positive impact on the Phoenix transit system.

Phoenix hosts the 2010 Arizona State Fair October 15th through November 7th. With all the traditional exhibitions and fun you expect, plus some new and exciting additions for 2010.
