Cost: Free to attend

This community-focused artisan market brings together local artists, wellness practitioners, and entrepreneurs in a celebration of creative collaboration and reciprocal economy.

Expect free workshops, movement classes, and a vibrant marketplace featuring handmade goods and wellness activations, all designed to strengthen the local creative community rather than extract from it.

🎳 Duckpin Bowling

When: Daily | see their site for hours

Where: Cham Pang Lanes | 903 N 2nd Street

Try something new with your friends. Duckpin bowling uses smaller "candlepin-style balls and pins." It'll feel a bit like you're playing skeeball in a small bowling environment (only six lanes; reservations for 4-6 people can be made on their site). Minors are allowed during the day, but it's 21+ only after 8p. See their site for more details.

Our Agency

Welcome to the Roz Bankston State Farm Agent office in Scottsdale, Arizona! With over 38 years of experience, I opened my office in 1986 to help people navigate life’s many changes with steady guidance and thoughtful service. After living in the area for over 20 years, I’ve built lasting connections with neighbors and families alike. We are proud to serve Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa with personalized support and a genuine commitment to care.

Life is full of unexpected turns, and having flexible coverage in place can make all the difference. Whether you're comparing Auto or Home Insurance options or looking into support for your Renters, Business, Pet, Condo, or Motorcycle Insurance needs, we’re here to walk you through the options. My team and I enjoy taking the time to explain information to our customers clearly so the process can be straightforward and accessible.

I studied Political Science and Business and have always been drawn to service-focused work. Over the years, I’ve remained active in the Scottsdale community through volunteer efforts, women’s leadership initiatives, and mentorship programs that focus on empowerment and growth. These experiences have shaped who I am and how I approach my work—with compassion, connection, and consistency.

Outside the office, I enjoy hiking our local trails, practicing yoga, and joining dance fusion classes when I can. My husband and I love spending our weekends with friends and community members. We often gather with others to reflect, support, and celebrate the good around us—it’s a part of who we are.

If you're in Scottsdale or nearby, I welcome you to stop by and connect with our team. Whether you’re just starting out or reevaluating your needs, we’re here to help guide you forward. Let’s start the conversation today.
