2008 Prescott Dickens Fair

11Dec08

Here is information from the Prescott Chamber of Commerce regarding this year’s Dickens Fair:

Prescott’s Signature Holiday Event is a Dickens

In 1989, Gov. Rose Mofford declared Prescott as Arizona’s official Christmas City. This Saturday, at 1 p.m. the Courthouse Plaza is once again host to an event that attracts thousands of visitors each year—Dickens of a Holiday.

“Dickens” is the brainchild of the City of Prescott’s Special Events Coordinator, Becky Garvin. “When I created this event, I was thinking about how the City could offer a day filled with affordable Christmas themed fun for the whole family,” said Garvin. According to Garvin, A $5.00 entry fee provides each child access to all rides—or individual ride tickets can be purchased for 2.00 each.

Garvin has ordered up a ferris wheel, pony rides, inflatables, food vendors and more. “Plus, we’re topping off the evening with a spectacular fireworks show.”

Garvin expects visitors to number in the thousands and recommends visitors arrive early to find a parking space in the vicinity of downtown and especially at the Granite Street parking garage.
