Event coordinators prepare the town of Queen Valley for the weekend’s celebration. Mila Besich-Lira | Sun
Birthdays come and anniversaries go. Turning 100 years old, though, is pretty darn special.
Queen Valley, Superior’s neighbor to the west, is doing just that and the townspeople are throwing a party.
Queen Valley, Ariz. will celebrate its Centennial on Feb. 7 and 8, 2015. The town is inviting the public to come join the party in this historic and beautiful little town in the southeastern foothills of the Superstition Mountains.
The Centennial celebration will be kicked off by a parade held on Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. featuring Grand Marshal, Bill Moser and a town founder’s wagon carrying a dozen of the people who came to Queen Valley in the early days of its development.
Included in the two day Centennial celebration will be craft and art shows, a historic walking tour of Queen Valley, guest speakers, a dance, information booths, children’s activities, a classic car show, and continual music by a variety of bands. Food will be available in the town’s two restaurants and from local food vendors.
Be sure to check out the schedule of events in the ad in this issue of the Superior Sun. Please, go to the party. And please when you go, find someone who lives there and tell them “Happy Birthday!”
