Carnival plans bigger and better
By Lu Stitt
LARSON NEWSPAPERS
For one day only on the campus of West
Sedona School, come one, come all to the
premiere carnival of the year.
Committee chairmen and chairwomen
of the school's Parent Teacher Student
Association send out the invitation in
camival barker style to the community for
the Sedona Wildcat Carnival, an evolution
of the annual Fall Apple Festival. There will
be rides, games, booths, live entertainment,
great carnival food, a silent auction and a
raffle for baskets filled with treats. It's a lot
to fit into one day, Saturday, Oct. 23, but the
committee assures everyone a good time.
The carnival is touted as a fun, affordable,
family-friendly event.
"We're reaching out not only to Sedona
but the other communities. We are
presenting a carnival for the whole family,
including food to please all ages -- the
best of carnival-type food," event co-chair-
woman Rachel Gallaher said. "It's our
biggest fundraiser of the year."
All proceeds from the carnival directly
benefit West Sedona School programs that
impact approximately 450 children.
The carnival has a special attraction -- a
big attraction.
"We're having a 50-foot Ferris wheel.
Everybody can get a ride and a great view
of the surrounding red rocks from the top,"
co-chairwoman Tracy Geurtz said as she
moved her h'ands in a big circle. "We're
really going to expand on the carnival
theme."
Other rides include a bouncy house and
a combination rock wall/bungee trampo-
line. Geurtz said there is a heavily padded
jousting ring with foam paddles, an arcade
with the latest games, a dunk tank and a
karaoke stage.
"Jeanie Carroll [music teacher for WSS
and Big Park Community School] is our
emcee. She'll also perform. There will be
big top acts and local, live bands. We have
a juggler coming who will juggle fire at
night," Geurtz said. "We want this to be an
annual event the community can count on."
Local dance and martial arts groups will
perform, along with other local entertainers.
Then there's the food. A local grocery store
is bringing a grill to cook hamburgers and
hot dogs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and local
restaurants will present a food court between
4 and 9 p.m.
"We're arranging for other fair-type food
too, likeroasted corn on the cob, kettle
corn, fry bread and whatever we can get,"
Gallaher said.
Along with the other attractions will
be more than 40 booths and games. The
school's teachers are running them. They
receive a booth and come up with a fun
game and prizes. Students in the class will
also help, Gallaher said.
"We're also involving the middle and
high school students," she said. "Many
businesses have donated auction items, but
there are still opportunities for others to
do SO."
The Sedona Wildcat Carnival is a brand
new event, and an all-volunteer effort.
Publicity chairman Allen Elfman said he is
amazed at the community support.
"Ever);one has come together as a team
to make this the premiere event to support
not only our school but the community. Plus
we have our principal, Dr. Lisa Hirsch, right
beside us. She loves this for the kids and the
community," Elfman said.
Many local groups have pitched in for the
carnival. The Sedona Fire District will be
on hand, the Sedona Police Department has
joined the planning team, the Rotary Club
chose the carnival for its October project and
the Sedona City Council recently awarded
the PTSA $500 for the carnival.
"It's really great to see the com'munity
come together for our school," Gallaher
said.
All of the carnival team members are also
part of the school's PTSA. The association's
president is Karl Wiseman, the vice presi-
dent is Kris Rodarte, the secretary is Sally
Mallon and the treasurer is Lynn Crawford.
"The purpose of this event is to build
community, to create a fun community event
and to fund programsthat provide quality
education for our children," Gallaher said.
The Sedona Wildcat Carnival will
be Saturday, Oct. 23, at 570 Posse
Ground Road in West Sedona from 11 a.m.
to 9 p.m.

Council awards $8,200 to local
organizations for Sedona events
By Michael Maresh
LARSON NEWSPAPERS .
The Sedona City Council
approved awarding event
funding Tuesday, Sept. 14, to
10 different organizations for
$8,200.
The city budgeted $10,000
for the event funding, and
Mayor Rob Adams said the
purpose was initially intended
to provide seed money to orga-
nizations putting on activities
to benefit Sedona.
Many of the organizations
the city proposed awarding
money to did not meet this
criteria, Adams said.
Council decided to move
forward with the event funding
this year, and it decided to hold
a special meeting to discuss
and set guidelines on event
funding for future years.
He said the city could
possibly set aside two different
pots of money for ongoing
events and new events bene-
fiting the city.
Councilman Dan Mcllroy
wanted to know if the city
would be violating the gift
clause by giving money to
organizations without there
being a benefit to the city. City
Attorney Mike Goimarac said
the question is one where five
different attorneys could give
a different opinion. He said he
thinks there is no violation of
the gift clause.
Vice Mayor Cliff Hamilton
said there was a variety of
Some of the requests
presentissues, especially
those involving organizations
charging for events, he said.
Hamilton wondered why the
city wants to help fund these
organizations, since they are
no different than paying to
attend a movie or high school
football game.
Adams said he did not want
to fund any events based
outside of Sedona or activities
with no benefit to the city.
Councilman Mike Ward
said some of the organizations
requesting funds from the city
had received large endowments
or were doing fundraisers. He
said it makes no sense to award
funds to entities not needing
them.
He said council was in a
tough situation because there
were no set guidelines to
follow for who would receive
funds.
Councilwoman Barbara
Litrell said it is obvious the
guidelines to receive these
small amounts of money were
not clear, but she felt staff did
a good job in reviewing the
applications before making
recommendations.
To change the rules at the
end of the process would not
be fair, Litrell said.
Adams proposed following
staff's recommendations,
saying to go through each
organization one by one could
take hours.
"We are setting precedent,"
Hamilton said. "We need to be
different organizations and careful in what we do."

Sedona Art Supply hosts art workshops
Sedona Art Supply is hosting cheesecloth into ink-jet print-
two art-packed demos and
workshops on Saturday and
Sunday, Sept. 18 and 19, at the
Sedona Arts Center.
Led by artist Adriana
Gallego,, participants on
Saturday will spend two hours
hearing all about gels, pastes,
paints, varnishes and more.
Each participant will leave
with a wealth of information
and a free gift bag and hand-
painted pigment chart.
Sunday's workshop is a
hands-on Mix More Media
Digital Lab. Participants will
discover how to transform
unusual surfaces like acrylic
skins, aluminum foil and
able media by experimenting
with a variety of acrylic paints,
gels, and mediums to glaze,
draw, over-paint, and collage
on the digital images.
Participants will be guided
through the process of applying
digital grounds, printing, trans-
ferring, sealing and protecting
digital images. Space is limited
as a smaller class size is neces-
sary for individual attention.
All levels are welcome.
Advance reservations are
required for both workshops.

did not think council would be
setting precedent because it
has the opportunity to change
the guidelines before these
issues come up again.
The group Hamilton opposed
the most was the Verde Valley
Sinfonietta. Staff recom-
mended awarding the group
$600.
He said the Verde Valley
Sinfonietta was going to show
the movie "Phantom of the
Opera" two times in October
and charge $14 to attend, and
he wondered what makes this
activity a community event.
"Does this make sense in
council priorities?" he asked.
Council decided to pull
the Verde Valley Sinfonietta
funding.
The Mitzvah Interdepen-
dence Day received $2,000,
while the Sedona Book
Festival received $1,500 in
funding. The Sedona Visual
Artists Coalition received
$1,000, and the Sedona
Sunrise Center for Adults
was awarded $700. The other
organizations were awarded
$500 each.
