    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (October 19, 2021) – The Sedona Historical Society is hosting their fall “Voices from the Grave” pioneer cemetery walk on Friday and Saturday, October 29 and 30, with show times at 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. A group of talented spirits and their ghostly escorts are set to once again entertain and inform visitors at the oldest cemetery inside the City limits of Sedona. This fascinating outdoor theatrical program with costumed ‘spirits’, history and fun, can only take a limited number of people, and was a sell-out event last year, its first year.

    Spirits will be awaiting guests for their annual return to this world to share their Sedona life stories.

    Ticket are still available online at sedonamuseum.org. Ticket holders will be going back in time to meet pioneers who lived and worked in Red Rock country. These “Voices from the Grave” are re-enactments by professional actors who will greet and meet visitors as part of an open air “cemetery walk” at the Cook Cedar Glade Cemetery off Airport Road. Participants will be escorted from one pioneer grave site to another for history and some hilarious or heartbreaking story-telling by select “ghosts” as they recount their lives and adventures in the Sedona of the past.

    The cemetery walk provides a unique experience for visitors to meet the early citizens of Oak Creek Canyon. There are homesteaders – both male and female, Sedona’s first litter lifter, a moonshiner, and midwife Nettie Van Deren, along with some new ‘seraph’ surprises. This is a step back in time experience.

    Reno and Sheila McCormick will provide musical interludes. Professional actors portraying the pioneers are Shondra Jepperson, Dev Ross, Michael Peach, John Reynolds, Gary Glenn and Tricia Greer.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
