November offers all of us a chance to ‘do better’, to ‘be better’. It sounds simple because it is:

  • Organizations like the Greenlee County Chamber of Commerce work very hard to plan and put in place events such as this coming Nov 7th  Holly Jolly Christmas Bazaar. ‘Tis the season to be shopping, fa la la la la la la la!’. The location is the American Legion Clifton Az Post 28. Plenty of off-street parking plus amenities most vendor events do not offer, such as being indoors.
  • It is also the beginning of the ‘season of giving’. Numerous fundraising events are happening or will happen as showcased in our Calendar of Events found at our website www.visitgreenleecounty.com and in this issue of Discover Greenlee.
  • The American Legion is also in the spotlight on November the 11th – as they do every year on Veteran’s Day, offering a free feast for all veteran’s and their families, specials flag ceremonies and entertainment.
  • Mid November brings a chance for racers and want-to-be-racers to sign up online for the 2027 Clifton Hill Climb. The Arizona Chapter of the Sports Car Club of America is once again sanctioning the race, providing the necessary insurance, and for the first time bringing a new twist – a street legal division. Street legal cars will be allowed to participate in the upcoming April 16-17-18, 2027 race weekend!
  • Generally the weather in our area is pretty calm, with temps averaging in the high 60’s and low 70’s, Clifton’s Fall Fiesta is also just around the corner, get ready for amazing food vendors, special entertainment and a full day of family fun on Nov 21st at the Riverside Park in North Clifton  starting at 11am and wrapping up at 7pm.
  • Local churches, fire departments, Lions Club, Greenlee County Health Dept. and others, all help each other to deliver full Thanksgiving meals to affected families in need. Watch for announcements.

Did we miss anything? Please let us know so we can help promote your event, fundraiser, etc. Until next time,  we send our best wishes to each of you for a peaceful, productive and prosperous Thanksgiving month.

With kindest regards, Akos Kovach, Chair, Greenlee Tourism Association.
