    This is a cute family sized fair…read more They have a free exotic animal exhibit. Free balloons for the kids. An indoor play area for families. Vendors with fun purchases. Delicious coffee. Cheese crisps. Hatch green chilies. Pizza. Cotton candy. Rides for the kids and a few for the adults. Lots of shaded areas to rest and eat both. A concert will happen tonight. And don't forget to vote for your favorite art, quilt or cake.

    This is one of the smaller county fairs that we look forward to attending each year…read more You can definitely get a feel for the nearby community with the animals they bring to show/auction, the artwork they have created, the photographs they have taken, and by interaction with those at the fair. It feels like a small town where everyone knows everyone. Great food every year by Steve's BBQ, the ladies in the booth with cheese crisps and hatch chile burritos, Pony Espresso drinks and smoothies, and AJ Masamas Fry Bread. Wonderful entertainment over the years by acts like Skip Banks, Greg Frisbee, Godfrey the Magician, The Conjurer, Slim and Curly aka Fables of the West, Matt Baker, and many more. Love that they have some form of entertainment strolling the grounds on a regular basis. One thing I truly miss is the music of George Johnson. He was a staple at this fair for close to 20 years (17 or 18, I believe). There are so many people that still talk about him each year and wish he would return. Many kids in the area grew up dancing in the covered area near his music tent. Hopefully, that tradition can be revived in the future. We have seen several fun bands on the main music stage also. Two favorites are Checker'd Past and Eric Dodge. Fun 80's music and some good ol' country music. The fair makes the most of the space they have and have the rodeo grounds, games , and carnival rides mostly to one side with rides extending along the back of the fair past the main stage. We have seen improvements made over the years, especially to the animal areas. Nice to see a fair reinvest in its own grounds and buildings to improve the overall experience. Weather can be odd from year to year. Last year it was very rainy and cold and other years it has been very hot and dusty. Can be very windy also so you may want to secure that hat on your head or have a tie so it doesn't completely blow away.

    Hands-down some of the best wine we've ever had. (and we have been to France! Hahaha)…read more The food was fantastic- we had bread, gnocchi, lasagna and pesto. The service was amazing, the restaurant location was impressive, the music was great.

    Made reservations for today at 4:15 and the service provided by James was better than expected but…read moreI cannot say the same for the food and especially not based on managements approach. While making the reservation I made a note that our oldest son is autistic and non-verbal and his only form of communication so that staff was aware we decided to give this place a try. After spending close to $800 on food for our party we decided to exit the restaurant and that is when the problems began. As we were walking out another customer at the bar a patron at the bar decided to squeal at my son but also yell into his face. When who I assumed was her daughter realized we saw what was going on she covered her mouth and told her to stop. Being adults and understanding of others different situations we decided the best method was to approach the management team and explain the situation. I then approached a manger who was wearing a pink colored collared shirt and explained to her what happened and her response was "that hurts my heart, we do not stand for that and we will definitely do something about this." We waited outside for about 15 minutes to see what was going to be done and once we saw nothing was I went back in to speak to the general manager. This was definitely the worst part of the night. Tiana came out to speak to us and I asked her to speak on the side so that other patrons were not affected. Her response to me after explaining the situation was "since we did not see it we cannot do anything." I let her know that was an inappropriate response and that since it was a private business they could remove any patron for any reason but if they did not want to do that then she could just openly tell me that. I then gave her an example and stated "if I stab someone and you do not see it then you would not remove me?" Her response was "we definitely would," to which I stated that goes against what you just openly told me and she that there is damage from a stabbing. I then stated to her that physical damage is the same as emotional and mental damge just in a different form which she seemed to easily dismiss. She then stated that the first manager I spoke to was doing her due diligence to find out what happened and I then pointed out that that manager was actually waiting tables and we watched her do this the entire time so I was not sure when due diligence was being completed. We went around in circles, I asked her to give me the ownership information to which she stated "the owner is too famous for you to know," but eventually gave me the name which I had already searched for in my phone. At this point I openly stated that she could just tell me they were not going to do anything and that transparency would be more appreciated to which her response was "you are not currently dining in my restaurant so you need to leave my property." We did walk away but I hope that this is addressed and not pushed aside. All that to say, I hope this type of discrimination was not because we were Hispanic (the restaurant was filled with 90% Caucasian clients), because we were from out of town (from California) and mostly I hope it is not because the stance of the restaurant is not that people with disabilities matter less. I hope someone reaches out to me to address this concern and I hope no other family has to be a part of what we went through tonight. Tiana seems to be invested in the business and that is great but should also understand her customer concerns. Update to this review: Called this morning (2/17/26) and the hostess said she was not going to help me with any information, that I was a weirdo, to grow up and then hung up the phone on me.

I really liked being able to try some Tuscan wine and a few of the local wines like ClearCreek I had not tried. Free water from a water vendor. It was a lovely afternoon. It is clear they heard the complaints like below and fixed it. Fashionable afternoon!

    I am reviewing the 2022 Verde Valley Wine Festival in Cottonwood. We will never attend this…read morefestival again. We've been to countless beer/wine/music festivals and this was the worst organized one ever. First of all there was absolutely NO place to park for miles around. We ended up going to our hotel and had to wait 30 min for a taxi that costs $20 each way for a 5 min ride. Once there, we got in a line that wrapped around the block (by this time it was already 12:45pm and it started at noon.) The place was so jam packed you could barely move. This was not a large venue, why did you allow so many people?? The lines for both wine & beer were a good 10-15 min wait. Never did see any so called free food samples. Only food for sale at high prices. There were very few tables/chairs and no place to sit and listen to music. It was such a chaotic zoo. Also needed water stations. It was extremely hot and the sun was relentless. We stayed about 2.5 hrs and the 4 of us all agreed to find a restaurant to cool off at and get some water. It was not enjoyable at all, just stressful. Never again and definitely not worth the $140 for 4 tickets and an extra $40 for cab fare.

    This is OPEN! Just went to visit Arcosanti with a friend that came to town and what a cool…read moreexperience. You have to schedule a tour, self guided are not allowed. The tour guide Joseph was so kind and full of energy. The video you watch when you get there is a very heart felt explanation of the passion to continue this community. They own 800 acres and the property is built on 20 acres, it was built between 1971-1975 for the main spaces that are shared. 45 people live there but could range to 80. They show how the products and structure are made. I had no clue about silk casts and loved the hands on understanding and history. They have concerts, events, gatherings. Etc at the amphitheater. Check out the website. The cafe is closed. You can stay as a hotel guest overnight. They offer apprenticeship also.

    I'm not sure why the Yelp page states Arcosanti is closed. We were just there and is open and…read moreoperating. Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years. Is appears to be a small artist community but we didn't see anything going on at the moment so couldn't tell if it id still active or they make everything south in Scottsdale at Cosanti. There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.

    Wow! If you are anywhere NEAR this area you have to take a ride on this train! Our family drove…read morefrom Tempe to Clarkdale which took about 1.5 hours. It was such a relaxing train ride. 2 hours up and back through the canyon for a total of 4 hours. We saw lots of gorgeous rock formations. Craig was a very knowledge and personable guide as we rode through this canyon. Craig pointed out so many natural formations. He showed us a bear den, mountain lion den. We looked out for river otters but didn't see any. We also saw a beautifully made bald eagle's nest and we did see a bald eagle flying by our train on our way back to the train depot! Craig gave us the history of this railroad which was so interesting. We were able to go outside our train car to the open air seating to have a more "closer to nature" experience. Shine was our bartender! As soon as you walk in the train car you will see a really really nice bar. Shine was super accommodating, friendly and so helpful! Of course it was a really hot day and he said he'd take care of us if we needed any extra water. The car was super comfortable and cool with A/C. As soon as we walked on and sat in our assigned seats, we had a small bottle of champagne and a delicious charcuterie tray for each of us. There is a bathroom in each car. Go early to see the little town before your ride. This is a great trip for Seniors, families, really all ages. It's recommended to go two hours before your train departs but we arrived an hour before and had plenty of time. There is a gift shop and outdoor seating while you're waiting for departure.

    We had a nice trip and a good time, BUT we didn't get the seating we paid for and we damn sure…read moredidn't like the seating we got. We paid for living room seating, but we got "dining room type seating" The train car seating is pre assigned and if you are a party of two, as in you and your spouse/friend, you will be seated on the dining room type seating. Those with parties greater than two, you get the living room seating. The company needs some clarity on this matter when selling tickets. There was a big comfort difference between the two types of seating and we weren't told about it in advance. Also, I will point out that none of the living room type seating is located next to the on board toilet, but some of the dining room seats are right next to it. I can tell you there is nothing like a line of six standing next to you while waiting for the WC as you're trying to look at the canyon wall as you eat your lunch.
