Upcoming December Meeting

The next regular meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for Thursday, December 4, 2025, at the Marlin D. Kuykendall Centennial Center (formerly known as the Prescott Centennial Center) at 1989 Clubhouse Dr. near the Prescott airport. 

The December program will feature the return of Monk and Wanda Maxwell and Joe Konkel, who appear around Arizona performing “back porch music,” which is much like the music that folks would have heard on ranches and at community dances during the early days of ranching in Arizona. For our program, they will present a summary of Monk Maxwell’s life using photos, stories and music. Monk Maxwell has been an Arizona working cowboy and rancher for over 70 years, working as a “Wild Cow Man,” catching cattle that have gone feral. 

Note that reservations must be mailed by Tuesday, November 25, in order to ensure seats at the dinner. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. Note also that the program and dinner will begin early at 5:45 PM so that we can complete important Corral business and give the Maxwells and Joe sufficient time for their program. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Sheriff Penny Morrison at (714) 833-8852.

Delia Muñoz Presented with Sharlot Hall Award at Westerners’ November Dinner

At the November 2025 dinner meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners, Sharlot Hall Museum Executive Director Stuart Rosebrook presented Delia Muñoz with the annual Sharlot Hall Award, which is given each year to a living Arizona woman who has made a valuable contribution to the understanding and awareness of Arizona history. Delia, born in Flagstaff, Arizona, as a third generation Ceballos, has worked for the Northern Arizona University’s Cline Library for 30 years, preserving and sharing the history of northern Arizona with students, researchers and the public. Starting with a grant in 1997, Delia spent the next 20 years capturing over 70 oral history interviews for the Los Recuerdos del Barrio en Flagstaff, considered one of the finer examples of an ethnography of an under-documented community in Arizona. In addition to being the content expert for a Cline Library physical and online exhibit based on her oral histories, she has been a frequent speaker in classes and for organizations on critical sociopolitical and socioeconomic issues of marginalized communities in Flagstaff.
