However, after they built that big hotel or whatever by the main post office, I guess they were selling spaces there or something because we could no longer enjoy walking uptown for an ice cream cone or something without being accosted by hawkers pushing unwanted information at us.

So we relocated to Cottonwood and have no regrets other than what Sedona has become. However, it’s very good to know about this reunion at the Elk’s Club and that former Sedona residents will be welcome if this becomes an annual event.

I recall another annual event which was a carnival sort of thing over on the property where I think New Frontier’s is now located. It was really neat with games like you could win prizes by knocking down bottles, and a dunk tank with well known Sedona citizens willing to take a plunge. Bingo was also offered there and this all took place every 4th of July as did controlled fireworks up at the Posse Grounds.

That comes to mind because just yesterday I was in Sedona and stopped by that same shopping place and was almost knocked down by a mob of very aggressive people dressed in yellow uniforms. Don’t know what that was all about but I much preferred the kinder and gentler days when we lived in Sedona.

As supporters of incorporation we lost many friends. Then, after the vote, it didn’t take us long to figure out how wrong we were. Saddened and dissolutioned we moved away from Sedona. However, this article was a reminder of why we lived in the first place.

Thank you.
