    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (November 30, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting their annual “Christmas in the Park” FREE open house on Saturday, December 10 from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.  The event extends free admission to the museum and a day filled with special free activities as a holiday gift to residents and visitors. 

    Everyone will be treated to hot apple cider, holiday cookies and free entertainment and activities.  A fire will burn in the red rock fireplace of the old Jordan house, the museum will be decorated in vintage holiday décor and a tumbleweed ‘snowman’ will greet all guests.

    Sedona old-timers and descendants of local pioneer families, including Jordan family descendents and Pat Schnebly Ceballos (Sedona’s granddaughter) will be in the Museum exhibit rooms telling stories about early Sedona.

    Local authors will be signing copies of their books just in time for holiday gifts, including:  Michael Peach signing his new “Leave Your Big Behavior in Your Home Corral” book of cowboy poetry and humorous stories; Robert Demayo will be signing his novel “The Road to Sedona” about a homeless family that crisscrosses America to learn that home is something you take with you;

    Rita Reger will be signing her children’s book series featuring Pepe Quackamole; and F. Ruth Jordan and Sally Jackson both have books about the Jordan family that built the Sedona Heritage Museum buildings. 

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Enjoy holiday music at 1:30 p.m. in the historic Fruit Packing Shed when singers will share the history of a selection of favorite holiday carols and then lead a sing-along.  The Packing Shed is heated for concert-goers.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
