    Arizona State ParksCamp Verde AZ (September 23, 2016) – Fort Verde Days serves as the Town of Camp Verde’s annual homecoming and celebrates the military post around which the town grew. The Fort Verde Days celebration will be held throughout the weekend in Camp Verde on Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9, 2016. Fort Verde State Historic Park will host events during Fort Verde Days in conjunction with town events and will offer a chance to get a glimpse of the past on the grounds of the original military post. This is a fee FREE weekend at the Fort.

    Visit Fort Verde State Historic Park during Fort Verde Days on Saturday (9am-5pm) and Sunday (9am-2pm). There will be flag-raising and lowering ceremonies, artillery demonstrations, living history presentations with re-enactors, Dutch oven cooking demonstrations, military drills and a vintage baseball game. Cheer on the Fort Verde Excelsiors, as they take on the Glendale Gophers, or listen to Dr. Sam Palmer as he presents the history of the Battle of Big Dry Wash, the last skirmish. This year’s Fort Verde Days will include the “Scarecrows Around Town” contest, which invites visitors to help judge the favorite homemade scarecrow.

    The entire family is invited to this event as the Town of Camp Verde celebrates with additional activities held in the community center, on the soccer field and throughout the town – including the 60th annual Fort Verde Days parade on Saturday at 10 a.m. This year’s theme is “Let’s go to the Hop.” Visit campverdepromotions.org for information about events going on in the Town of Camp Verde.

    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.
