Scoop Factory Scoopstakes: Grand Finale

Today's the day for our unbelievable grand prize packages (yes plural), including New Year's at the W Scottsdale and a Swisstek Watch of your choice

And we’re back from that brief commercial interruption. Hope you’re ready to put some happy in your holidays because today we’re dishing out not one, but two grand prize packages. Why don’t you try this one on for size: A cut, color, style, facial and waxing service from Inizio Salon courtesy of Spa Fit AZ + 1 pair of tickets to every show in Ballet Arizona’s 2010-2011 season + a $150 gift certificate to the sumptuous J&G Steakhouse. And speaking of the posh penthouse that is J&G, click here to read a tasty Q&A with the French-born chef who’s putting a Continental twist on the classic American chophouse.

Then again, maybe you’d prefer what’s behind door #2: A 1 night stay at the W Scottsdale on New Year’s Eve + a $100 gift certificate to the W’s sleek, stylish Sushi Roku + a timepiece of choice from Swisstek Watches Brillier luxury line. Now that’s some good gifting. First, however, we’ve got a little Weekend Guiding to get to.

Tonight, break out your fugliest duds as Cadillac Ranch inside Tempe Marketplace hosts an Ugly Sweater Contest. Named The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, this silly holiday shindig challenges Valley residents to bust out their most painfully festive Christmas sweaters as they compete for $1,ooo in cash and prizes, including a snowboard package from Tempe’s Utility Board Shop. Plus, come sit with Bad Santa and his Naughty Elves for an untraditional Christmas photo, sure to become a treasured family keepsake. (2000 E. Rio Salado Pkwy., 480-894-1111)
