Upcoming July Meeting

The next regular meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for Thursday, July 3, 2025, at the Marlin D. Kuykendall Centennial Center (formerly known as the Prescott Centennial Center) at 1989 Clubhouse Dr. near the Prescott airport. 

The July program will feature a “mini-Gathering” of cowboy poetry in anticipation of the official 37th Arizona Poet’s Gathering in Prescott on August 7 through 9. Presenters include Jim Buchanan, long-time chairman of the Gathering, offering an overview of its history as an important means of preserving western heritage and culture; Don Fernwalt, horse trainer and cowboy poet, presenting examples of his poetry; and Gail Steiger performing the music he’s well-known for. 

Note that reservations must be mailed by Tuesday, June 24, in order to ensure seats at the dinner.

Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:00 p.m. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m.  If you have any questions about the program, please contact Sheriff Penny Morrison at (714) 833-8852.

March Dinner Meeting Features Members’ Western Wear

At the urging of Sheriff Penny Morrison, many of the Corral members attending in March made the monthly dinner meeting even more colorful and entertaining than usual by dressing in 1880s-style apparel. Just a few of those who made this extra effort to portray our historical heritage are pictured at left.

Penny plans to announce a second such event for one of our Fall meetings.
