Glitters Centennial Tree
Glendale’s 30-foot-tall Christmas tree, located on the Civic
Center plaza during Glendale Glitters, was designated as the

students from both Landmark Middle School and Glendale High School,
and designed to be images representative of Glendale. To celebrate
the city’s Centennial at the Capitol Tree visit to the downtown
area, students helped decorate the special tree, assisted by the
Glendale Mayor and City Council, plus a special guest named Santa!

Taste of
Glendale-100 Years in The Making - A Glimpse
By Bette Sharpe - Glendale
Daily Planet
Photo City of Glendale
Glendale, Arizona turns 100
in 2010, and as part of the centennial celebration the Glendale Office
of Tourism is presenting a new limited edition centennial cookbook.
Glendale, Arizona Recipe Collection, A Taste of Glendale--100
Years in the Making, made its debut at the Citrus Zestival on
January 30. Good food,
family, and friends (either from around the state or from other parts of
the county) are the ingredients that make memories.
I made the “Arizona
Christmas Salad” submitted by Ruth Sparks Byrne.
This recipe has been a Byrne Christmas family tradition for five
generations. The
instructions for her salad were well written and easy to follow.
I juiced my own oranges.
Thank goodness the pineapple came in a can! The salad was easy to make, once the oranges were juiced, and
was fresh and healthy tasting—not too sugary nor too tart.
I did not have red grapes, so I used raisins instead.
I plan to make this salad again in the summer.
It is an elegant salad for the holidays or anytime.
January is a great time for me to use some of my own fresh
citrus.
I made only one of the
recipes, so far. Next, I
would like to prepare “Atha’s Deep South Salmon Patties”.
Atha is also 100 years old this January and this is her
grandmother’s recipe, which makes it about 200 years old.
This tells me these salmon patties have will be on the dinner
menu sometime soon. The
cookbook also includes appetizers, side dishes and desserts.
Information about the recipe’s connection to Glendale’s
history is also included. This
gives the reader some background as to why this recipe is among some
family’s favorites.
Glendale residents were asked
to submit recipes for this cookbook.
You can find more delicious recipes online at http://www.glendaleaz.com/centennial/cookbook.cfm
(p. 33 of the cookbook gives this web address www.glendaleaz.com/centennial).
Use the first link and you will go right to them.
Or you can stop by the Glendale Visitor Center, 5800 W. Glen
Drive, #140, Glendale, Arizona 85301.
The cookbooks are $5.00.
For more information on the Centennial cookbook,
call the Glendale Visitor Center at 623-930-4500.
