Prescott, Arizona Day Trip ♥
My boyfriend Brandon and I took a day trip up to Downtown Prescott in Arizona last week! we had a bunch of fun and I decided to make a quick video of the different things we did there. Below are a list of the places (and a short description of each) we went to and the order they appear in the video. I hope you guys like it! Don't hesitate to give me some feedback!
1. Bill's Pizza
- Cute little pizza shop that me and my family always visit when we go up there.
2. Elk's Theatre & Performing Arts Center
- A theatre that was built in 1904. It was an opera house, a movie theatre, and it has been completely restored to its original state and they still host shows! Completely free to visit, it was super cool and interesting! (It's also haunted)
3. Armadilla Wax Works Inc
- Brandon and I had a lot of fun here! You can hand dip different kinds of candles for super cheap! I think it would be really fun to bring my little sister here.
4. Cortez Street Emporium
- Basically an antique mall. Brandon got some really cool vintage zippo lighters and I found an adorable vintage Kewpie Doll! I didn't buy it though. I'm emo now.
5. Frozen Frannie's
- We ran in here to grab something to drink and we discovered the cutest little frozen yogurt shop! I loved the interior design of the place. They had a bunch of vintage car and train memorabilia, including a toy train that went all around the shop!
6. Ian Russell Gallery of Fine Art
- I'm an art freak, so needless to say, when I went into this place I had a full on Fan-girl moment. The clip shown in the video is the Geoffrey Gersten Collection, which is extremely Mark Ryden inspired (I obviously had to buy a print).
7. Yavapai County Courthouse Square
- Pretty self explanatory. It is a park that surrounds a historic courthouse. Brandon and I took a stroll before heading back down to the valley.

Roaring 1920's Prohibition Speakeasy Theme for Boston Corporate & Social Events
EventGo2Guy.com's Craig Sutton does it again with his latest concept for corporate, social and other Boston area events: the Roaring '20s Prohibition-Era Speakeasy party. Send your guests 90 years back in time, to your secret club where the music moves people's feet all night and the homemade Moonshine keeps flowing -- hopefully without the G-Men busting up the joint. Services may feature: custom decor including hand-tailored window dressing and lighting; live musical act or DJ; human sized martini glass for bar centerpiece; costumed servers with walking Moonshine bars, bringing drinks right to your guests; and sacks of loot as your parting-gift goodie bags. The Speakeasy is the perfect idea for corporate events, private parties, bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs, and much more. [Pepper's Fine Foods Catering based in the MetroWest region of Massachusetts provided all food services and some thematic elements shown in the above promotional video. The EventGo2Guy is proud to work with Pepper's on many events each year.] Visit EventGo2Guy.com for more info.
The 6th Annual Thumb Butte Festival
Thumb Butte Fest showcases Prescott history, music, arts
By Karen DeSpain, The Daily Courier
The Thumb Butte Festival 2010 kicks off Sept. 25 with an eye on Arizona's statehood celebration that begins to roll out in 2011.
The state's 100th birthday is actually Feb. 14, 2012, but communities around the state plan to launch activities in the months leading up to the big day.
The state's Centennial Committee has selected the Thumb Butte Festival as one of three Best of Arizona Events to participate in the myriad of statewide activities that will mark Arizona's entry into the Union as the 48th state
The 2010 festival will be a dress rehearsal for the 2011 show that will kick off Arizona's birthday party, said Deborah Thurston, executive director of the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council, sponsor of the festival.
Thurston said the Thumb Butte Festival won its Best of Arizona Events designation because it covers a broad spectrum of talent, is still young and evolving on the arts scene, and the event's timing is a good fit.
This year's festival begins at 5:30 p.m. on the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza with a fashion show, An Evening at the Opera House, by the Elks Opera Guild, whose members will model gowns and eveningwear from 1905 to 1940.
Performers on the evening's bill are Jonathan Best, known for his equal parts gospel tenor, boogie-woogie piano and avant-garde sound collage; songwriter, singer and storyteller Rita Cantu; flamenco music and dance group Rio Flamenco; classical vocalist Lecia Breen; and a special appearance by Brad York, who emulates Frank Sinatra.
The festival continues from 10 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 25 and Sept. 26, with 15 venues at a variety of locations offering the spectrum of entertainment. The Verde Valley Bird Dancers and Gourd Dancers from the Yavapai-Apache Nation will perform at Smoki Museum, along with Micki Shelton's unconventional romance, Fred & Mary, which explores Arizona history through the lives of Fred Harvey and Mary Colter. Paul Sprawl, whose approach to guitar is beyond musicianship, will play his guitar at the Hotel Vendome.
Local artists will set up exhibits for festival visitors both Saturday and Sunday. Vision de Vidal Studio is lining up artist demonstrations and artwork for sale. Another group of artists, whose work ranges from oils to sculpture to woodworking and jewelry and fiber art, will show off their creativity at R.D. Branstrator's dental practice and studio on Iron Springs Road. Other participating art venues include the Mary Schulte Studio, Eye on the Mountain, Random Art Gallery and Gary Cassidy Studio.
Sharlot Hall Museum plans displays of military encampments from the Civil War to the Spanish American War, cowboy poets, including Gail Steiger, and a presentation of Wash Day Blue by the Prescott Victorian Society.
Prescott is blessed to be chosen as the city for the state centennial (celebration) to kick off, Thurston said. The Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council hopes to help our new city tourism department in their effort to promote tourism and the local economy.
Beginning Sept. 18, storyboards describing each participant in the Thumb Butte Festival will be on display in the lobby of the Hassayampa Inn so that visitors can go there first and get all the information they need about events and their locations, Thurston said. Also, complete details are available at the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, area hotels and at prescottartscouncil.org or by e-mail at bestofazthumbbuttefest@gmail.com.
There are the rumors about 'flash mob scenes' all over town, Thurston said, giving away one of the many surprises that will entertain randomly over the weekend: a cattle drive up Gurley Street.
Admission is free.
