About Heritage Days
Heritage Days Mission
The mission of “Chiricahua–Peloncillo Heritage Days” is to educate and inspire local citizens in understanding the important role that flora, fauna, water and open space play in the health of the Chiricahua–Peloncillo Mountain community, and to highlight the interdependent connection that exists between our natural heritage and the cultural heritage in that region.
Heritage Days Approach
To accomplish its mission, Heritage Days mixes expert presentations on landscape health, conservation, local culture, and regional history with a simultaneous on-site crafts fair/famers market and great locally-prepared food, including a purchasable buffet-style lunch.
Heritage Days Sponsorships
Heritage Days events are brought to you by the Portal, Arizona, non-profit organization Friends of Cave Creek Canyon. Additional support for the event is generated through collaboration with local and regional volunteers and businesses and through private donations.
Heritage Days Schedule and Promotion
Heritage Days attracts participation by the local and regional community. Events at the Geronimo Event Center feature a special Keynote address and talks by 8 professional speakers, a large covered Farmer’s Market and Crafts Fair, and a Field Day with interpretive site tours and Free Film Showings. Most attendees are residents of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, and the event is promoted via news releases to regional media and through direct-mail to 1,000 regional residents.
