Bemidji State University’s Arizona Network will reconvene in the Southwest this spring for a three-day series of gatherings to bring together alumni and friends from across the region. All are invited to join fellow Beavers at the meet-ups from March 6-8, 2026, regardless of network membership status.
This year’s lineup includes events at PopStroke Mini Golf in Glendale, a brunch cruise on Lake Pleasant, and a free picnic gathering at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale.
PopStroke Mini Golf will kick off the weekend at 6-8 p.m. on Friday, March 6, in Glendale. PopStroke combines mini golf, great food, and fun for guests of all ages. Your ticket covers food, golf, and unlimited water and soft drinks. Each guest will have access to both 18-hole courses and the gaming space with cornhole, foosball, and table tennis.
The next day, a Lake Pleasant Brunch Cruise will set sail from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 7. The ride aboard “The Phoenix” includes a buffet-style breakfast brunch and incredible views. There is also a full-service bar with drinks and snacks available for cash-only purchase.
Lastly, there will be a picnic gathering at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale. Picnic attendance is free, and the park also features attractions, shops and museums, and more to enjoy.
