Upcoming August Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Prescott Corral of Westerners is set for Thursday, August 7, 2025, at the Marlin D. Kuykendall Centennial Center (formerly known as the Prescott Centennial Center) at 1989 Clubhouse Dr. near the Prescott airport.
The August program will feature Mark Sankey, Director of Media and Marketing at the Mescal Movie Set near Benson, Arizona, discussing the site’s importance as a key location in numerous popular Western films, including Tombstone, Outlaw Josey Wales and the Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean — films that have brought many notable stars to work in Arizona, including Clint Eastwood and Paul Newman. His presentation will include film clips that illustrate the various ways the movie set was used in different films.
Note that reservations must be mailed by Tuesday, July 29, 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.
