Delighted You’re Here

Greetings Rodeo Fans,

It is with great honor and pleasure that I welcome you to Prescott, home of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®!! The rodeo is always an exciting time for our communities to showcase the amazing events and venues that the Prescott and Prescott Valley areas have to offer.

As the mayor of neighboring Prescott Valley, I would like to personally invite you to explore the fantastic hiking, golfing, shopping, and hospitality that Prescott Valley and Prescott have to offer. Whether you are hiking Thumb Butte, fishing in Fain Lake, or even catching a concert or show at the state-of-the-art 5,000-seat Findlay Toyota Center, all who have visited will agree that our area is a-one-of-a-kind location to visit, explore, and relax.

For those of you who live in the Prescott/Prescott Valley area, I am sure you will agree that even though we may have grown in size and population over the years we have not lost that smalltown feel that we all fell in love with when we moved here. Our residents enjoy the friendly community and knowing that we truly believe in each other and that every citizen and visitor is valued. Prescott Valley is proud of being the safest community in Northern Arizona, and we want you to know that our public safety personnel are some of the best in the country.

In conclusion, thank you again for choosing to spend your time in our area. We are confident you will make memories and want to come back soon. Do not forget to tell all your friends and family members about what a great time you had here in our great community! We look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Sincerely,

Kell Palguta

Kell Palguta, Mayor of Prescott Valley
