    SEDONA, Ariz. – The city of Sedona translated two essential public documents: the Sedona Community Plan and the Emergency Evacuation and Re-Entry Plan, into Spanish to ensure broader access to critical information for its Spanish-speaking residents.
    The once every 10-year Community Plan is an all-encompassing guideline that dictates the community’s vision and goals. Completed most recently in 2024, the Spanish and English versions of the Community Plan can we found at www.sedonaaz.gov/communityplan.
    Sedona’s Emergency Evacuation and Re-Entry Plan was published in 2023 and models evacuation scenarios and establishes responsibilities for evacuation and re-entry operations. Read the Spanish and English versions of the Emergency Evacuation and Re-Entry Plan at www.sedonaaz.gov/emergencymanagement.
    “Drafting the city’s Emergency Evacuation and Reentry Plan was a crucial element of the emergency preparedness efforts for our community; however, this element was not complete without the Spanish translation of this document. We encourage all of our residents to review the Emergency Evacuation and Re-Entry Plan so they can be prepared to take action when an emergency situation and/or evacuation occurs,” said Chief of Police Stephanie Foley.
    According to the last census in 2020, 18% of Sedona residents selected Spanish as their primary language. While the city website can be translated using Google Translate, that feature doesn’t translate documents posted to the website.
    This translation effort by the city’s Sustainability Department is part of its initiative to make access to city resources and information more equitable.

     

    Spanish Translation:

    SEDONA, Arizona – La ciudad de Sedona tradujo al español dos documentos públicos esenciales: el Plan Comunitario de Sedona y el Plan de Evacuación y Reingreso de Emergencia, para garantizar un mayor acceso a información crítica para sus residentes hispanohablantes.

    El Plan Comunitario, que se publica cada 10 años, es una guía integral que define la visión y los objetivos de la comunidad. Finalizado en 2024, las versiones en español e inglés del Plan Comunitario se pueden encontrar en www.sedonaaz.gov/communityplan.

    El Plan de Evacuación y Reingreso de Emergencia de Sedona se publicó en 2023 y modela escenarios de evacuación y establece responsabilidades para las operaciones de evacuación y reingreso. Lea las versiones en español e inglés del Plan de Evacuación y Reingreso de Emergencia en www.sedonaaz.gov/emergencymanagement.

    “Con estas traducciones completadas, ahora tenemos un mayor alcance en nuestra comunidad, ya que más residentes tienen acceso a esta información vital”, afirmó Zach Schwarz, Coordinador de Sostenibilidad de la ciudad de Sedona.

    Según el último censo de 2020, el 18% de los residentes de Sedona eligió el español como idioma principal. Si bien el sitio web de la ciudad se puede traducir con Google Translate, esta función no traduce los documentos publicados.

    Esta iniciativa de traducción del Departamento de Sostenibilidad de la ciudad forma parte de su iniciativa para que el acceso a los recursos y la información de la ciudad sea más equitativo.

    Arizona Wine Country Artists Village Returns to Cottonwood November 20–22 A Free, Family-Friendly Fine Art Showcase Where Art Comes to Life COTTONWOOD, Ariz. (October 12, 2026) – The Arizona Wine Country Artists Village returns to Old Town Cottonwood for its final autumn showcase from November 20–22, 2026. The free outdoor fine art and craft fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Organized by Jerome-based artists John and Lauri Maeder of PBSW Events, LLC, and hosted by the City of Cottonwood, the November event presents a brand-new weekend for art lovers, holiday shoppers, and wine country visitors to engage directly with premier regional creators. “Where Art Comes to Life” serves as the driving vision for the event, which offers an interactive alternative to traditional retail shopping. Attendees can watch live artistic demonstrations, learn the techniques behind handcrafted works, and purchase one-of-a-kind, investment-quality pieces directly from the makers. Held at the Old Town Activity Park (187 E. Pima Street), the pet- and family-friendly grounds sit just steps from Main Street’s vibrant collection of tasting rooms, local dining, and boutiques within the federally recognized Verde Valley AVA. Highlights for the November 20–22 Showcase: Curated Juried Art: A lineup of top regional artists and craftspeople showcasing original studio works across various mediums. Interactive Community Scavenger Hunt & Raffle: A scavenger hunt featuring donated artist originals, with entries eligible for a $500 cash grand prize drawing. Hands-On Children’s Art Tent: A dedicated creative zone where young visitors can craft their own projects. Established in 2024, the quarterly Artists Village series continues to bolster the local creative economy while celebrating the unique intersection of fine art and wine tourism in Northern Arizona. The fair is held four times each year. For more details regarding the Arizona Wine Country Artists Village, visit the official website at https://artists-village.com.
