honoree of the Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc – World’s Oldest Rodeo®, Lawton Champie’s legacy continues to resonate profoundly.
Prescott’s annual rodeo parade, themed “Prescott Traditions,” is set to take place on Saturday, July 6 at 9 a.m. in downtown Prescott, sponsored by Barrett Propane. The parade will kick off with the grand marshal honoree, Ibbie Champie. She is the daughter of Lawton Champie, a thirteen-time rodeo champion across various
events. Lawton won the All-Around in 1931, 1934 and 1944; calf roping in 1939; steer wrestling in 1931 and 1934; saddle bronc riding in 1924, 1926 and 1931. However, the story goes, Slim Riley got the credit for winning the bronc riding in 1924 because he got hurt the first day and Lawton was bucked off the first day, so, Lawton filled in for Riley the last three days and won the event. In those days it was all right for someone to ride for another person. Demonstrating true cowboy spirit, they shared the reward money.
Born with an innate talent for horsemanship and a fierce determination to succeed, Lawton Champie embarked on his rodeo journey in the early 1920s. His prowess as a saddle bronc rider quickly became evident, clinching the championship in 1926 and reaffirming his dominance in 1931, showcasing unparalleled skill and grace atop bucking broncos.
Champie’s versatility shone through various disciplines, mastering Cow Pony Racing in consecutive years, 1925 and 1926, displaying unparalleled speed and finesse astride his trusty mounts. His agility and precision were further evident in Steer Wrestling, seizing victory in 1931 and again in 1934, earning admiration for his exceptional control and technique.
The indelible mark of Lawton Champie extended to Tie Down roping in 1939, demonstrating his ability to swiftly and accurately rope calves, setting a standard for efficiency and accuracy in the event. Not content with individual accolades, Champie excelled in team events, claiming victory in Team Roping in 1943 and showcasing his versatility as a Team Roping Heeler the following year, solidifying his reputation as an all-around cowboy.
Beyond his impressive list of championships, Champie’s legacy reverberates for his unwavering dedication to the sport and the values it embodies. His commitment to excellence, resilience in the face of adversity, and respect for the animals and fellow competitors encapsulate the true essence of rodeo.
As Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc pays tribute to Lawton Champie in 2024, it not only honors his exceptional achievements but also celebrates the enduring spirit and heritage of rodeo. Champie’s legacy serves as
Champie among fellow rodeo participants in front of Bucky O’Neill Monument, apprx. 1930
an inspiration, reminding current and future generations of rodeo enthusiasts of the relentless pursuit of greatness and the timeless values ingrained within the sport.
Lawton Champie’s story transcends mere victories; it symbolizes the epitome of passion, dedication, and sportsmanship, leaving an indelible imprint on the vibrant tapestry of rodeo history that continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.

Historical markers and interpretive signs line the trail. Local leaders are working to secure the 6 miles of railbed between the two segments.
OFF-ROADING
Chino Valley has become a mecca for off-highway exploration largely due to being perched at the western end of Perkinsville Rd., a popular route to Jerome and the historic Perkinsville area. OHV trails thread through the forests and prairies surrounding the town, including the Smiley Rock trail branching off Perkinsville and the Alto Pit OHV area closer to Prescott.
PRESCOTT NATIONAL FOREST www.fs.usda.gov/prescott

The opportunities to experience nature within its borders are endless, with trails, campgrounds and dispersed camping, day-use areas and primitive wilderness areas to choose from. It’s a playground for anyone who likes to walk, hike, mountain bike, ride horses, off-road, climb rocks, fish, kayak, watch birds and other wildlife, geocache, forage or do almost anything else — some activities require permits or fees.
Special places with memories to be made can be found around every rock, tree or cactus under the rich diversity of vistas provided by these areas.

The Town and its economic development department offer services and advantages like incentives, assistance with site selection, a business support center and affordable and available land, along with no impact fees or municipal property taxes.
Looking to the future, the Town is pursuing development of a business park and other uses on portions of the Old Home Manor property not set aside as open space and encouraging entrepreneurial development in spaces like incubators and farmers markets.
Officials also aim to expand the community’s tourism industry, improve the AZ-89 streetscape and develop an online inventory of all available commercial land properties within the town limits.

LOW COST OF DOING BUSINESS
Arizona offers one of the lowest costs of doing business in the United States, primarily because of low taxes and small state government. While the national average of percapita income going to taxes is 9.9%, here the number is 8.4%.
GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY
Considering the size of the population, the state government is small. Arizona has the country’s second-lowest number of state and local government employees per 10,000 residents, according to the 2022 edition of the Rich States, Poor States study by the American Legislative Exchange Council. The same survey ranks Arizona No. 1 for business performance and No. 3 for business outlook.
In addition, Arizona’s taxes on property and business income remain low compared to the rest of the country and are dropping further for personal income for the 2022 tax year, as noted by the Tax Institute in its 2022 report.
Property taxes are the 11th lowest in the U.S., and unemployment insurance tax is also the 11th lowest. Average costs for workers compensation are another advantage, with Arizona ranked 8th lowest nationwide.

Day-tripping in Arizona
Once you’ve had some amazing Chino Valley adventures you can travel just beyond your new hometown and find the perfect day’s fun for your family inside the many museums, shops and restaurants or outside on trails, lakes and Jeep tours within a few hours’ drive. Whether you crave cool pines or desert warmth, there is a day trip for you!
CAREFREE/CAVE CREEK
These towns just north of Phoenix and Scottsdale offer a more laid-back vibe, one via high-end resorts and the other Old West quirks. Take a horseback trail ride in the stunning Sonoran Desert, go antiquing along Cave Creek Road and browse galleries and boutiques in Carefree.
CAMP VERDE/COTTONWOOD
Spend the day learning about the cliff-dwelling Sinagua culture and their crowning architectural achievement at Montezuma Castle National Monument, visiting a wideranging menagerie at Out of Africa Wildlife Park or enjoying the scenery and fine wines at 10 wineries and tasting rooms along the Verde Valley Wine Trail.
FLAGSTAFF
Northern Arizona’s largest city is at the foot of its highest peak, Mount Humphries, and in the midst of natural splendor to explore at Walnut Canyon and year-round at the Arizona Snow Bowl. Lowell Observatory lets you reach for the stars, and you can see the massive mark left when a celestial object collided with Earth at nearby Meteor Crater.
GRAND CANYON
Hiking trails, shopping, gorgeous hotels and cabins, restaurants and more are awaiting the visitor to the Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Trailheads for Bright Angel and South Kaibab trails are near the village. Tour more of the North Rim to see even more unbeatable views.
JEROME
This historic copper mining town caters to the ghost hunter, art lover, wine or beer connoisseur and history lover with more than two dozen galleries and eclectic shops and restaurants. Drill down into local history at Gold King Mine and Ghost Town and Jerome State Historic Park and hop onto the western end of the Verde Valley Wine Trail. A captivating journey awaits at Verde Canyon Railroad, just down the road in Clarkdale.
Yavapai Humane Society Welcomes You and your Furry Family Members to Prescott!
Welcome to Prescott, a picturesque haven nestled in the heart of Arizona’s high country, where the charming blend of history, nature and warm hospitality beckons both twolegged and four-legged visitors alike.
Whether you’re a new resident or a potential resident, Prescott opens its arms to you and your furry companions, inviting you to explore its vibrant community, stunning landscapes and dog-friendly delights. From scenic trails to pet-friendly patios, this city offers a wealth of experiences that make it a paw-sitively perfect destination for dog lovers and adventurers alike.
So, leash up your best friend and embark on an unforgettable journey through Prescott’s welcoming streets, where the joy of adventure knows no bounds.
Prior to heading out on any outings with your furry companion, though, make sure your veterinarian has given your pup a clean bill of health. This will help prevent injuries and any potential exercise-related problems.
Prescott boasts an elevation exceeding 5,000 feet, and just as it takes us humans some time to acclimate, your dog also will need an adjustment period. We are also surrounded by Prescott National Forest, so be aware of the different wildlife that inhabit our area and sometimes venture into neighborhoods.
Additionally, our region experiences extreme weather conditions, including scorching summers and snowy winters. Be
sure to check the temperature and weather forecast before venturing out, and keep in mind that the weather can change quite suddenly, so keep an eye on the sky!
Carrying your cellphone is advisable in case you encounter any unforeseen challenges during your outing.
Giving your furry friend the right dose of physical fun is a key ingredient in keeping their muscles and joints in tip-top shape, maintaining a healthy weight and letting out all that pent-up energy.
Start the adventure with a leisurely neighborhood walk, and then level up to longer, more exciting hikes. Just like us humans, you wouldn’t want to leap straight into a 3-mile hike without a warmup. So, amp up your daily walks bit by bit, and toss in a hill or two for that extra zest and zing!
When you’re ready to hit one of our many pet-friendly trails, we suggest the Watson Woods Trail that starts at Rosser Street and goes to Watson Lake. It’s a nice 3½ mile roundtrip hike that is pretty flat and a good starting point for beginners.
From there, you can venture out to other trails and eventually to some that challenge you both a bit more. Lynx Lake Loop is a beautiful 2½ mile hike that is relatively easy. The Constellation Loop comes in at about the same length and also is easy but often quite busy. Goldwater Lakes Trail No. 396 is an 8-mile hike out and
back, which has nice benches along the way to take a break when needed.
Remember to bring potty bags, water for both of you, and be sure to keep an eye on your dog(s) to make sure they are not becoming overheated or exhausted. And remember that while it’s tempting to let your dog off its leash, it is Arizona law that your dog remains on a leash that is a maximum of 6-feet long. This is for the safety of not only your dog, but others you may come across.
Having an adventure with your dog in Prescott is a win-win! You both soak up the beauty, get exercise and strengthen your bond. Plus, it’s a paw-some chance to mingle with other pups and peeps!
So, grab that leash and your playful pooch and hit the trail for an awesome time together! It’ll put smiles on both your faces!
