Why Everyone's Coming to the Mountain Right Now (And What You Can't Miss This Week)

Join Carin of Carin Rubin - State Farm and Jacquelyn as they update you on what's happening in the Arizona White Mountains.

It's another lively edition of Mountain Talk inside the Mountain Retreat Realty Expert Studio, where Birdman and Karen break down a packed week of events across the White Mountains — with everything from community celebrations to dance floors, art classes, and family-friendly fun.

Birdman, juggling roles as always, joins Karen for a fast-moving, humor-filled rundown of what's happening around town — but not before giving major props to one of the most meaningful community events of the season.

The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside, alongside the Rotary Club of the White Mountains and local businesses, pulled off a completely free Easter celebration — complete with egg hunts, toys, candy, and even a full lunch for families. It's the kind of event that defines mountain living: generous, community-driven, and all about bringing people together.

From there, it's a whirlwind tour of the week ahead — Tai Chi, Zumba, STEM programs, art workshops, food trucks, craft fairs, and even country swing dance classes. Whether you're into fitness, creativity, family outings, or just grabbing a London Fog and soaking in the mountain vibe, there's something happening every single day.

Through it all, Birdman and Karen keep it real, funny, and grounded in what matters most — supporting local businesses, showing up for your community, and remembering why life on the mountain just hits different.
