    20190902_foodfestCottonwood AZ (September 2, 2019) – The Muse Gallery in Old Town Cottonwood is offering a spectacular eat, drink, dance and create event on Saturday, September 14th, during the Old Town Art & Cultural Walk.

    The inaugural Old Town Cottonwood Food Truck Wine Fest will run from 4-9pm, with a portion of the day’s proceeds supporting the Friends of the Verde River, including 1/3 of sales from the new sculptural “Invasive Species” Shark Fins garden installation by Jerome artist Richard Johnson, plus many Muse Member Artists.

    Bring out your dancing shoes, forks and paint brushes!

    Join us for this once-a-year event, including live and interactive art, top chefs and winemakers, chocolates, gelato, music and more.

    Farm A Go Go's Reuben Sandwich!
    Farm A Go Go’s Reuben Sandwich!

    Food trucks include Farm A GoGo, purveyors of their own in-house smoked, grilled, and hand-made delicacies from meats and breads, to kombucha and spreads.

    The Agenda food truck might not let you know his truck name comes from being part of the big show. His last touring gig was on kitchen staff for the crew traveling with Jay Z and Beyonce on their France/Spain tour. Oh… and gigs with Sia, Donny Walberg and New Kids on the Block were a few more. 

    And anyone who has had Copper State Pizza can only exclaim, “They are THE BEST! pizza.” When they say ‘a slice,’ it’s really like a quarter pie, and we like it that way.

    Top that all off with only the best wine in Arizona. Top winemaker, Pillsbury Wine, will have not one, but two, of his highly informative and fun staff on hand to walk you through a tasting or help you select the perfect pairing to your food selection.

    The outstanding Merkin Vineyards will be on site with their exceptional wines and staff as well, available to talk about their wines, gelato, sorbet, and Rock Star legacy.

    DA Vines Vineyard is the new kid on the block and has plenty to prove, and they do it well! Their Merlot have been compared to Bordeaux, by French tourists. Just an innocent little vineyard stashed silently behind DA Ranch in Page Springs, about to make big waves with their impressive varietals, and may soon be the first official Tasting Room wine in The Muse Gallery.

    For the non-wine-drinker, we fail you not. Julie with TeaEazy of Old Town Cottonwood, will have her stash on location as well. The Muse will also be offering some Verde themed “mocktails” and cocktail creations.

    Sweeten this up with an array of decadent gourmet Gayle’s Chocolates. Gayle’s is generously donating river-inspired shaped chocolate items to be raffled off for Friends of the Verde River, as well as having chocolates and truffles for sale – and they are no trifle – they are fantastic!

    Making a maiden voyage, we are excited to announce the Merkin Gelato Truck will be with us. After working for two years on the renovation of an old milk truck, Tim McClellan Designs finished the truck recently for Merkin. 

    The fantastic gelato and sorbet available through the truck are creations by the unstoppable Kelley E Foy, who studied in Italy. Foy is blending fresh fruits, herbs, wine and booze flavors. We recently had to try the Lavender-Malvasia and Bourbon-Pecan as market research, and are pretty sure we’ll need to try more flavors at the event.

    Throughout the afternoon and evening, kick your heels up and dance to the Desert Hot Tub Club from 6-9. Becky Dalke opens the show from 4-5:30.

    Special to this event, and in relation to its host The Muse Gallery, enjoy interactive and live art presentations. Bueno Marketplace will be live screen-printing the limited edition festival logo onto merchandise of your choice. An array of men’s and women’s stylish shirts will be available, as well as totes.

    Described as ‘Feminine with a tone of Bohemia,’ come see beautiful blown glass, wearable items by Moraine Estelle. Moraine will be doing live demos throughout the event.

    The Muse Gallery member-artists are also offering live displays: jewelry making, ceramics, and more. For a flavor of the day’s art activities: Malou Leonstinsis will be offering an acrylic flower press tutorial, and Loretta Meyer-Furrey a wineglass painting tutorial with Verde River themes, plus selling her Verde River wine glasses towards the Friends of the Verde River proceeds.

    Bruce Fraser will be making clay birds and assembling his clay bells. He’s offering a big “Bee” bell for Friends of the Verde River. Heather Bamberg will be sawing and assembling bird-themed jewelry. She will have a selection of her jewelry sales going towards Friends of the Verde.

    And famous local muralist Joan Bourque will be doing some kind of interactive mural display. As always, Joan is offering a community-based, all ages type of fun for all to play! 

    Best of all, a portion of many of the event’s proceeds are supporting The Friends of the Verde River, our favorite local resource supporting, well, our favorite local resource!

    The Old Town Food Truck Wine Fest will be at The Muse Gallery, on the corners of N Main Street and N 5th Street, in Old Town Cottonwood on Saturday September 14th from 4-9PM.

    Be sure to reserve your space online today! Space is limited. Your $25 entry fee buys you $25 in tickets to use for ALL art activities and vendors inside of the event (The Muse Gallery regular inventory excluded).

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong


    Heads or Tails
    By Tommy Acosta
    Let’s face it. I love conspiracy theories. The more far-out the better. Yup. I’m one of those. Looking at the Trump raid fiasco there can only be two theories that I see fit perfectly into the scenario that’s being weaved for public consumption. The first is that what is happening is actually being engineered by the forces that want Trump to return to the White House. Just like with the Russia-Russia thing, what is going to happen after all the hoopla,Trump will be found completely innocent just like before and he will be loved even more by his fans and followers. Those who tried to put him down will be chagrinned while those who supported him politically will be exalted. Republicans will be revived, and they will go out and vote in a new Congress and Trump will rule once again. Then there is the other side of the coin. Read more→
