COUNCIL MONTHLY REPORT December 2022
Prescott Valley's first Winter Spectacular was a huge success, drawing 6,000 people to enjoy a day of events, food, music, a Night Light Parade, the lighting of our new 40-foot Christmas tree, and a visit from Santa who entered via a horse drawn sleigh! Popular during the day were a snow machine, photos with Santa, inflatables, and crafts. A thick fog during the event added to the magic.

Prescott Valley Police officers joined law enforcement agencies throughout the Quad Cities area to thrill local youngsters in need during the annual Shop With A Cop event. Kids receive a ride with their very own officer (with the ability to make a lot of noise with vehicle sirens!), breakfast and a visit with Santa, who arrives by helicopter, and an amount of money to purchase Christmas presents for their families.
