HOWDY! Welcome to Wickenburg!
A western-style “Out Wickenburg Way” welcome to all of
our visitors this weekend!
We hope whether you’re a returning Gold Rush Days fan
or a first-timer that you enjoy our 68TH Annual Gold Rush
Days celebration.
The Wickenburg Chamber of
Commerce is very proud to sponsor this celebration of our ranching and mining heritage. Gold
is what created this community
– more specifically, the gold that
Henry Wickenburg discovered in
1863.
This true-west celebration has
stood the test of time, bringing
residents and visitors alike a
taste of yesteryear. Governor Jan
Brewer and the Arizona Office of
Tourism selected Gold Rush Days as the Best Special Rural
Event in 2011, and the Arizona Centennial Commission
selected this celebration as one of the official events for the
Arizona Centennial in 2012. Our Gold Rush Days NSPRA
Rodeo was selected at the end of 2013 as Rodeo of the
Year, and presented with a recognition plaque during last
year’s rodeo. Most recently accolades came from American
Cowboy Magazine naming this event as one of the 101 Best
Events in the West!
As a community entering our 153rd year we pause to
remember and salute our settlers who founded a community
we are so proud of. Western Hospitality is not a catch-penny
phrase in Wickenburg. As befits this truly western town,
hospitality and friendliness are a charming part of the town’s
personality, as genuine and real as the surrounding hills.
Visitors are welcome – whether your stay is an hour, a
weekend, a month or a season. It isn’t important where you
are from or who you are – the important thing is that you
are here!
Additionally at this time, I believe it is important to remember our members, volunteers and sponsors, whose contributions, volunteerism, and partnerships share in the success
of this signature heritage event. Tip of the Stetson to our
Presenting Sponsors again this year:
Crescent Crown Distributing- Coors Banquet, and Trilogy
at Wickenburg Ranch. Inside this program you will find
information on our community, the scheduled activities during this weekend, and events planned for the rest of 2016.
We invite you to come back and stay a day…..or two.
You’ll enjoy the Real West….Out Wickenburg Way!

Desert Stagers Performing Melodrama &
Vaudeville Show for Gold Rush Days
The Wickenburg Desert Stagers will once again provide a
rip-roaring, audience-pleasing, cheer-the-hero, boo-the-villain,
hilarious melodrama for Gold Rush Days.
Performances are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights starting at 7 p.m. at the historic Saguaro Theater downtown on
Wickenburg Way. Tickets are $10 per person and are on sale
now at the Chamber of Commerce.
This year’s melodrama is She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter
and takes place in the parlor of Wickenburg’s Ye Olde Hassayampa
Inn in the mid-1800s. The cast is comprised of both novice and
veteran Desert Stagers.
Born only a farmer’s daughter, Millie Spivens, the persecuted
heroine (portrayed by Kristi Henson), has longed for an education so she travels to Prescott where she becomes a victim of that
deep-dyed, despicable villain, Mulberry Foxhall (played by Dr.
Edward Kirk, DDS). Mulberry forces his attentions on Millie,
and in a weak moment she consents to become his wife. It is
then that she encounters a strange woman who tells Millie that
Mulberry is already married and is merely laying a trap for her.
Millie, realizing the peril of her situation, returns to the farm,
renouncing the wicked city and its sinful ways forever and hoping she will never have to deal with the treacherous villain again.
But, alas, Mulberry appears at the inn suddenly and proceeds to
make life intolerable for the farmer’s daughter.
Millie’s family and friends attempt to help her, but no one
knows her deep, dark secret. Osgood Smithers, the manly hero
with the wavery tenor voice, is played by Spenser Lowe. Suzy
Winzeler is Aunt Sally Spivens, who is suffering with “the asmy.”
Ella Smithers, who runs the Hassayampa Inn, is portrayed by
Connie Dierks.
Adding to the mayhem are the wealthy, aristocratic Alice,
Henry, and Lydia Smith. Alice Smith (played by Alisha Elliott)
has been duped by Mulberry into a secret elopement. Of course,
he is only after her money. Her furious, worried parents – also
tipped off by that same strange woman – have come to prevent
the marriage. They are portrayed by first-time Stagers Adriane
and Catherine Blanco. Harvey and Mulberry share a criminal
past, which adds greatly to the confusion and hilarity of this
melodrama.
And, to top it all off, Aunt Sally has a letter from Millie’s late
father that she promised to deliver to his daughter after her 20th
birthday. Its contents provide a topsy-turvy, dramatic climax.
Preceding the melodrama each evening is a Vaudeville Show,
with emcee CW, featuring local talented singers, musicians,
poets, and novelty acts.
The melodrama and vaudeville show are two of the most entertaining events during the annual Gold Rush Days celebration,,
and since each night is usually a sellout, everyone is encouraged to purchase tickets early at the Wickenburg Chamber of
Commerce.
Tickets for any of the performances that are not sold out will
be available at the door.

February 12-14, 2016
Wickenburg, Arizona – “Where the West is Still Wild!”
1863-2016
The Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce invites you to
visit our western town.
Founded in 1863 the miners, ranchers and farmers built
homes along the fertile flood plain of the Hassayampa
River. Many of these resourceful and committed settlers
came from Sonora, Mexico, giving this area the distinction of being the northern edge of the Hispanic ranching
frontier.
The western ambiance, however, still thrives. The town
has cherished the best traditions of its colorful early days,
through annual events such as Gold Rush Days, Fiesta de
Septiembre, Bluegrass Festival and Cowboy Christmas
Poets Gathering. Horses and mules can still be seen with
riders each day in the beautiful foothills surrounding the
community. The variety of events each year brings local
riders and visitor riders to participate in many equestrian
activities. You’ll find cowboys on mules & horses participating in the Desert Caballeros Ride, and in the annual
February Gold Rush Days Rodeo & parade, where a combination of entries makes this one of Arizona’s biggest senior
pro rodeos and the 4th largest parade.
Wickenburg boasts of many equestrian riding groups for
adults and children. The year round activities bring the
outdoors of this beautiful high desert community to young
and old from the saddle. Wickenburg of today is a modern
town with over 600 businesses providing a full range of
services, shopping conveniences and specialty shops and
galleries for gifts of western distinction. The western ambiance still thrives.
A smiling welcome is in every greeting. Friendliness
and the warm spirit of good neighborliness are as evident
in Wickenburg as is the inexhaustible supply of sunshine.
A visitor meets it at every turn, whether his mission
leads him to business contacts with townspeople or to the
ranches where the most hospitable hosts in the world bid
welcome.
Guest ranches offer a unique western experience to
tourists who fell in love with the West. The Bar FX Ranch
became the first true guest ranch in 1923, followed by the
Remuda, Kay El Bar, Rancho de los Caballeros, and Flying
E ranches, just to mention a few. The title of Dude Ranch
Capital of the World and Arizona stayed with the Town of
Wickenburg for over 50 years. Today, two true American
Plan guest ranches remain – Rancho de los Caballeros,
and Flying E Ranch. The European Plan ranch is Rancho
Casitas, and another unique working cattle ranch is the
Williams Hassayampa Canyon, which provides guests a
unique hands-on experience.
Western hospitality is no catchpenny phrase here. As
befits this truly western town, hospitality and friendliness
are a charming part of the town’s personality, as genuine
and as real as the surrounding hills.
Experience Wickenburg -- a town where visitors are
warmly welcomed whether the stay is an hour, month, or
season. It isn’t important where you’re from or who you
are – the important thing is that you are here.

Wickenburg Community Chorus
The Wickenburg Community Chorus started about 20 years ago,
with members from all walks of life who came together by their
love of singing. The non-auditioned chorus is now a non-profit
organization totally comprised of women, numbering 25 voices.
Over the years the chorus has sung at various locales, and a
variety of area churches.
All types of music are presented, ranging from classical works to
Broadway and pop standards.
Under the direction of Camille Boyle and with piano accompaniment by Kay Anderson, the chorus recently entertained an enthusiastic audience at their annual Christmas concert.
Please enjoy them at the opening ceremonies at 10:00 a.m. on
Frontier Street, and look forward to hearing them again at both
the melodrama and free stage near the the community center this
weekend.
