Flagstaff Local: NAU Football, Special Olympics, Trivia & More - Your Wednesday Roundup

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Wednesday, September seventeenth. The sun is up over the peaks and it’s a crisp and beautiful start to the day in northern Arizona. Whether you’re catching this broadcast over your morning coffee or getting the kids out the door, we have everything you need to know to make your Wednesday in Flagstaff both fun and informed.

Let’s dive right in with a look ahead at this weekend’s big game. NAU Lumberjack football is ramping up for a real showdown this Saturday at the Walkup Skydome. The Lumberjacks, riding high after their Grand Canyon Trophy victory, will face the nationally ranked University of the Incarnate Word at two p.m. in a matchup that’s getting serious buzz. It’s also Family Weekend on campus, so expect the Skydome to be electric with both locals and visitors. Ticket availability is limited, especially if NAU students want to sit with their families, so grab those early if you haven’t already. NAU is on an eight-game home winning streak—the longest since the Dome first opened—so you know the stakes and the energy will be sky high.

Mark your calendars too, because Special Olympics Arizona is celebrating their fiftieth anniversary event in Flagstaff this Saturday. This community milestone brings together athletes, families, and friends for a day of inspiring competition and support. It’s a great stop if you’re searching for uplifting local spirit and a chance to cheer on some amazing efforts right here at home.

For those of you looking for things to do today, Flagstaff never disappoints. The Flagstaff Christian varsity volleyball team hosts Dream City Christian at four o’clock this afternoon for those who want to catch some live high school sports action. If you’re more in the mood for some friendly competition without breaking a sweat, Wanderlust Brewing Company is hosting their Wednesday night trivia with Jen and Emma starting at seven. Expect clever questions, plenty of laughs, and some of the best local brews in the city.

Looking for a night in or fun with friends from afar? There’s a Flagstaff Virtual Game Night running tonight—a great way to connect for charades, trivia, and drawing games, all from the comfort of your living room. No need to even change out of your cozy clothes.

For film buffs, swing by the Elks Theatre at seven for a special screening of Somewhere In Time, a classic that pairs perfectly with a bit of popcorn and Flagstaff’s early fall atmosphere.

Finally, as of this morning, access has reopened to ninety-six thousand acres of national forest surrounding Flagstaff, so if you’re itching to hit a trail or soak in the autumn air, today is your day. Just remember to check local regulations and fire updates before heading out, as conditions can change quickly around here.

This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
