WICKENBURG CHAMBER NEWSLETTER

APRIL 2024

By Sierra Blunt

April is here!


The annual Desert Caballeros Ride begins next week, and we're welcoming these families with the annual Spring Fling Sidewalk & Indoor Sales event this Friday and Saturday. Two dozen local businesses are participating, so enjoy this beautiful weather and score some great deals right here in Wickenburg.


Dive into the April newsletter featuring the latest news and updates.

Representing Wickenburg

On March 16 & 17, Executive Director Mike Wallace and Paula Reynolds represented Wickenburg at the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show in Santa Clara, California. Throughout the weekend, they spread the word about Wickenburg to over 700 curious visitors. Mike and Paula distributed dozens of copies of Destination Wickenburg magazines and other Wickenburg literature.


The most-asked question was, "Well, where is Wickenburg?"
