Verde Valley Fair

From Verde Valley Fair Website:

FUN FACTS:

In 1965, the first Verde Valley Fair was held in downtown Cottonwood. Carlton Camp, who was FFA Advisor at the High School, now Mingus Union, Don Goddard, Chuck Mabery, Everett Brown, Pat Patterson, Mickey Ryan, and Ross Rhoton were instrumental in bringing 4-H members into the FFA Calf Sale so they could avoid the long trip to Prescott and competing for buyers with the local Prescott 4-Hers. The calves were shown in the baseball field behind the Civic Center. Doc Pardee was the auctioneer. The American Legion Hall was used for 4-H exhibits, and the Civic Center was used for other exhibits. A barbeque was held, with George Thomas making biscuits in Dutch ovens."

This event is featured by Carnival rides, Livestock Shows, Arts/Crafts and Shopping. Corn dogs, Smoked turkey legs and funnel cakes... and Much, Much More!
