Top Ten True West Town Wickenburg AZ
–
Town is ‘Top Ten’ again, gets many favorable reviews
Wickenburg was again named one of the “Top 10 True West Towns” for the third year by True West Magazine. An article appears in the January issue!
The 61st Annual Gold Rush Days was named No. 6 of 12 “Things to Do in 2009” by The Arizona Republic. The article appeared in the Sunday Travel Section just after Christmas. Most recently the town received two other distinctions from other publications. American Cowboy Magazine named Gold Rush Days as “One of 101 Best Western Events”, and Phoenix Magazine has Wickenburg listed as “One of 52 Weekend Adventures for 2009.” Chamber staff has a long-standing relationship with these publications, writers and advertising representatives, and with that comes great publicity and promotion to this community.
Arizona Travel Show
The Chamber’s goal is to help promote local business and the community to a targeted group of consumers and we will again have a booth at the Feb. 21 and 22 Arizona Travel Show at the University of Phoenix Cardinal’s Stadium in Glendale. The last two years has brought more than 4,000 people to the show and many inquiries about this community. The tourism committee and Rancho de los Caballeros will man booths during the two-day show.
New Wickenburg map arrives
The 2009-10 Wickenburg Map produced by The Chamber and printed by Spring Hill Press has arrived. New streets have been added, colorful easy-to-read information along with chamber member advertisements are included. The map will go online for easy access to Wickenburg 24/7.
