Upcoming December Meeting

The next regular meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for Thursday, December 5, 2024, at the Kuykendall Community Center (formerly Prescott Centennial Center), 1989 Clubhouse Drive near the E.A. Love Airfield.

The December program is “A Prescott Christmas,” presented by the Rusty Pistols Reloaded and several members of the Prescott Corral of Westerners. Join us for a program of Christmas
carols, hymns and songs and your favorite cowboy songs interspersed with our members’ stories of
Christmas seasons in early Prescott. We live in Arizona’s Christmas City, so let us celebrate its storied past. The Rusty Pistols Reloaded – currently Suzi Killman, Bob Wood, Duane Steinbrink, and Donn Pease – promotes and performs traditional American cowboy songs.

Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:15 p.m. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m.  If you have any questions about the program, please contact Sheriff Shelly Dannatt at (515) 554-6049.

Prescott Corral Hosts the Presentation of the 2024 Sharlot Hall Award

At the November dinner meeting, the Prescott Corral of Westerners celebrated the presentation of the annual Sharlot Hall Award to Janeen Trevillyan by Stuart Rosebrook, Executive Director of the Sharlot Hall Museum (photo at left). Since 1984 the Sharlot Hall Award has been presented annually to a living Arizona woman in recognition of her valuable contributions to the understanding and awareness of Arizona and its history.

 This year’s recipient, Janeen Trevillyan, served three terms on the City of Sedona’s Historic Preservation Commission and volunteered with the Sedona Heritage Museum for 25 years, serving as the President of the Board and Historian. As a volunteer, she acted as the Museum’s Executive Director for over 20 years. She is the co-author of the book, “Images of Sedona” – a historic photo book about local history.
