The Blazin’ M Ranch has become a recognized attraction in the Verde Valley, cited as a Tripadvisor “Traveler’s Choice.”
“It will be an unforgettable holiday experience,” said owner Ryan Glass, who promises to have the appealing Western Fronter town in full service, including a saloon, shops, wagon rides, target shooting, axe throwing and other activities.
Special entertainment is planned for the younger kids, with face-painting, bounce houses, miniature golf, wall climbing, a mechanical bull, pumpkin decorating and live music.
On show nights, following a filling home-cooked meal of chicken, BBQ ribs, side dishes and spice cake with cream cheese, the Blazin’ M Ramblers will perform a one-hour Western show.
“We’ve tailored it this year to make it even more fresh and clever,” said Glass. “We’ve scheduled some talented entertainers to fill the evening, with the music of Chris Stapleton, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny Rogers, Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys, Tonya Tucker, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline.”
Glass and his wife, Leila, say the business has grown since they opened last spring. “Return visits were up, and tour busses began bringing guests here,” said Leila.
Ryan add, “A lot of seniors began coming back this fall and on weekends, parents from the cities showed up with carloads of kids. In fact, when I received the number from July 2021 compared to this July in 2022, I was surprised to see we had more than 23,000 guests. That’s phenomenal when you realize that during the height of the pandemic, we were totally shut down.”
