“It’s so nice the way the Town of Camp Verde supports their festivals,” she said. “This was a great year.”
“It was wonderful to see friends, neighbors and visitors all enjoying what makes Camp Verde so special – good food, great wine and even better company. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make it such a fun and memorable weekend,” said Camp Verde Town Manager Miranda Fisher.
Because of inclement weather and road closures, Saturday’s attendance was down slightly, said Town of Camp Verde Parks and Recreation Department Director Shawna Figy, but on Sunday, attendance jumped to 5,500 guests. “We had 29 volunteers who worked 94 hours to assist with event operation and gatekeeping duties. The Parks and Recreation staff walked a total of 77 miles over the course of three days setting up and operating the event,” she said. “That’s a lot of steps.”
Aside from pecan and wine growers, the festival included live music and 99 venders like Nancy Sheffert of Goat Milk, Etc., who has participated for 10 years. “It’s so nice the way the Town of Camp Verde supports their festivals,” she said. “This was a great year.” QCBN
