Want to help the firefighters’ fund that helps the community? Have a hot dog or a cheeseburger with chips and a drink for lunch. All food proceeds go to the Arizona Fire & Medical Firefighters Charities, which help community members after an emergency when they cannot help themselves.

Take a break and listen to music while resting in a chair. The Desert Ramblers and Riff Raff bands will entertain you. Want to take a walk outdoors? While you visit over 90 artist booths, you can walk in sun and shade around the beautiful Cottonwood lake behind the tennis courts.
