Columbus Day History

Columbus Day, while perhaps becoming slightly controversial in our time, is still a celebrated day on the calendar every year (for now).

Though there is still school and it is not a bank Holiday, it is recognized every year on the second Monday of October and this year that day is on Monday the 14th.

That being said, here is a quick video from History.com that ponders whether or not Columbus was truly the first person to discover America.

For some things to do this weekend, you might head to the Downtown Square where there will be a Craft show going on all day Friday and until 3PM on Saturday.

Another option would be to head over to Watson Lake where there will be a Corvette car show from 10AM to 2PM on Saturday.

Also going on at Watson is “The Big Sting – Its a Country Thing” from Friday at 3PM to Saturday at 11:30PM. This event states, “Come see what all of the Buzz is about… Escape to the Country for an Exclusive Music Camp out weekend in the rocks with You and 3000 of your closest friends with the Shadows Foundation out at Watson Lake, Prescott, Arizona. Concerts, Food, Beer, Camping, family, friends, sunshine, Corn Hole, other games and more!”

We hope you have a fabulous weekend in our amazing town of Prescott, Arizona!
