Colorado River Park Hosts Free Exploration Station Party

Yuma, AZ – On Saturday, July, the Colorado River State Historic Park will host its second summer Exploration Station Party from 7:30-10:00 p.m.

The Exploration Station Parties are a free, fun, educational evening of science exploration! The event will feature educational booths, crafts/activities, telescope viewing, face painting, and more.

“We had such positive feedback from last summer’s Star Parties that we decided to expand this summer’s events to include all things science—not just space,” said Tammy Snook, Park Manager of the Colorado River State Historic Park.

“The expanded focus for the event has allowed us to invite in many more partners than we have had the opportunity to work with in the past,” said Snook. “And we are so thankful for our partners, since without their participation we would not be able to offer this free event to our community.”

The Exploration Station Party will take place at the Colorado River State Historic Park, located at 201 N. 4th Ave. The main parking for this event will be at the vacant lots on the NW corner of 1st St. and 2nd Ave. From there, attendees can walk to the park’s back entrance at the north end of 2nd Ave.

The Colorado River State Historic Park is managed by the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation (YCNHA), which operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. YCNHA serves as an advocate, with key partners, to protect the Lower Colorado River and its rich history.

For more information, please contact the park at (928) 329-0471.

Memorial Day Flag Raising Ceremony

faith.rodriquez on May 26, 2023

3rd Annual Flag Raising Ceremony

Join us to honor the men and women who gave their lives for our great country.

Date: Memorial Day, Monday, May 29th 2023

Location: Fire Station

Time: 10:00 am

Fisher’s Landing Resort has known Memorial Day as the starting weekend of the summer season for decades. Everyone enjoys boating, hanging on the sandbar, BBQing, and spending time with family and friends. My father (Randall Phillips) served in the United States Air Force and my sister and myself were taught from an early age to respect our flag, take pride in our country, and appreciate the men and women of the military who sometimes had to pay the ultimate price so that we could enjoy our freedoms.

A few years back as I was riding through Pruitt City, on Memorial Day I noticed there were so many American flags flying everywhere. I took pride in the fact that our River Community was so patriotic. I thought to myself we should do something on this holiday to show our collective appreciation for our Military and love for our Country, and as I passed the Martinez Lake Fire Department, I realized we could do a small flag raising ceremony for those of us who wanted to participate.

I didn’t realize so many others in our community would jump on board with this idea. Fisher’s Landing bought a new flag (made in America) for this event and supported my efforts whole-heartedly! I asked my neighbor Cal Gunny Grimes if he could raise the flag & speak but he owns the Swallows Inn at San Juan Capistrano and Memorial Day Weekend is a huge work weekend for him. He then hooked me up with his friend and fellow Marine Reg Nelson who had a place on Swede’s Hill. Cal Gunny Grimes and Reg Nelson are a part of a group of Marines called the “Nights at the Round Table” and between these guys they have 236 years of service to our Country! (Thank you all for your service)

The moment I spoke to Reg Nelson, he was a wealth of information on how to properly display and raise “Old Glory” and he said he would be honored to raise the flag for the ceremony.
