Twice Nice Fall Thrifty set for Oct. 3 in Camp Verde
SEDONA, Ariz. — Easter weekend in Sedona was a hopping place with the famous egg hunt at Posse Grounds Park, giant rubber duckies randomly popping up across town and the second annual Twice Nice Spring Thrifty available to community members looking to listen to good music, have some food and donate some thrift store items for a cause.
The second annual event was held April 4 and store manager Alicia Henson said it “went well.”

While the turnout and donations were similar to 2025, when Verde Valley Sanctuary first hosted this event, Henson said they felt much more prepared.“Everything ran smoothly, from setup to sorting of donations, to wrapping up the event,” Henson said. “This made the experience better for everyone involved.

Henson thanked the community for supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence, which has been the main focus of Verde Valley Sanctuary since its inception in 1993.
“Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Spring Thrifty. Whether you donated, volunteered, or stopped by, your support means everything,” Henson said.

Food trucks like Loquita Cocina, Cheeky Kiwi and Blackhawk Coffee offered great food and drinks for people who stuck around to watch sister duo Gracie and Tivona Moskoff play their tunes as Kaleidoscope Redrocks.
The band even donated their tips back to Verde Valley Sanctuary after the event.
“We appreciate all of our vendors including Loquita Cocina, Cheeky Kiwi, Blackhawk Coffee, and our entertainment for the day with 105.7 FM joining us for a live remote radio visit and of course, Kaleidoscope Redrocks,” Verde Valley Sanctuary Development and Communications Director Brian Bergner said. “We appreciate everyone in the community who supported this event, and our missio
