Willcox Western Heritage Days
Willcox Western Heritage Days is an opportunity for Willcox to remember its cowboy and Indian heritage. At one time Willcox was the cattle capital of the world, shipping out more range cattle than any other shipping yard in the country. Many a cowboy has been a part of our history.
Willcox celebrates its heritage by a kicking off this event with a Friday evening dinner, sponsored by Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative, featuring entertainment by Ms. Juni Fisher, Western Music's 2006 Female Performer of the Year. Tickets are $15 per person and are available at the Chamber office. Seating is limited so please reserve your space today.
Saturday there will be historic re-enactments in Windmill Park, located on Railroad Avenue. Other events going on during the day will be a Mountain Man presentation, Apache Indian practices, music and entertainment in Railroad Park, kid's crafts, and tickets will be on sale all day long at businesses along Railroad Avenue for a chance to win a Black Powder Gun.
For a day of western entertainment come to Willcox and enjoy the heritage of the old west.
Western Heritage Days is sponsored by the Willcox Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture. For more information, contact the Chamber office at 1-800-200-2272.
