Ranching Descendants Doing the Heavy Lifting to Preserve History

August 3, 2023 By quadcities Leave a Comment

The same characteristics that pioneered the West, like rugged determination, a strong work ethic and a can-do attitude, are easy to spot in Arizona ranching family descendants Garrett Denny and Vince Fornara. Denny is a fifth generation Prescottonian, whose family raised cattle at the Fort Rock Ranch in Seligman from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Fornara is a third generation Arizonan, whose relatives owned dairy farms in the Verde Valley. Today, the men are business partners, making their … [Read more...] about Ranching Descendants Doing the Heavy Lifting to Preserve History

Arizona’s Hiring Woes May Be Here to Stay

October 1, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

As the national worker shortage is mirrored in Arizona, many employers are wondering how they can attract good people. Charn McAllister, a management professor at Northern Arizona University’s Franke College of Business, says the pandemic delivered a one-two punch. “The losses suffered by most people reminded them of their own mortality and they had time on their hands to think about what mattered to them.” McAllister sees more employees who want to work for organizations doing good in … [Read more...] about Arizona’s Hiring Woes May Be Here to Stay

SCORE Helping Businesses Succeed for Decades

August 4, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

I moved to Prescott in 2018 after 41 years in the commercial audiovisual industry in Southern California. We opened and ran a successful manufacturers’ rep company for 33 of those years, serving a five-state region. I had several terrific mentors, but I wish I had known of SCORE in those days. I like to say, “I could have had a V8.” SCORE is a non-profit, volunteer-staffed, free business mentoring service. SCORE is America’s premier source of free, confidential small business advice, and was … [Read more...] about SCORE Helping Businesses Succeed for Decades

May 28, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Business is improving at restaurants in Prescott, Flagstaff and Sedona as we emerge from the pandemic, which has hit restaurants especially hard. In early May, Arizona Congressman Tom O’Halleran announced that the Small Business Administration’s $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund had begun accepting applications. Many restaurants in Central and Northern Arizona have either already received or applied for these funds. Priority for the first 21 days was given to restaurants owned … [Read more...] about Restaurants Feeling Relief

Sound Check

May 1, 2021 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Music and dancing has returned to the Quad Cities area and is starting to return to the Flagstaff area, with a lot more planned for May. The scheduling of more live music gives musicians, venue owners and customers hope for the future. Prescott area venues never totally shut down the music during the pandemic, but solos or duos were playing instead of bands, and there was no dancing on the dance floor, per the safety protocols in place. Sidekicks Lounge in Prescott Valley and Jersey Lilly … [Read more...] about Sound Check
