For the seventh consecutive year,
Sara Murray, owner of Fancy That! donated scarves — 1,500 tartan plaid — this past Dec. 10 Acker Night — to be sold. She has participated and sponsored a musician in her store during Acker Night for most of the 19 years she has been open in Prescott. The shop collected a $10 donation for each scarf and all the money went to

Acker scholarships. The fundraiser was expected to bring in $15,000.
Her vision always is to have everyone wandering around downtown wearing the same plaid scarf showing they have supported the Acker event. In 2020, the shop sold out of 1,000 scarves and collected over $10,000.
Scarves were on sale at both locations: Fancy That! 124 S. Granite

and Fancy That! Home & Holiday Store 109 S. Granite.
Fancy That! hosted musicians at both locations and, of course, the popular bonfire with complimentary s’mores. This is the shop’s favorite night of the year and it was for a good cause!
Santa was also available at Fancy That’s! The Home and Holiday Store for free pictures during the event.

Greater Prescott residents and visitors welcomed the holiday season in its grand, traditional style with a lively Christmas parade with a “It’s a Who-ville Christmas” theme. Rolling out underneath cloudless blue skies, it was stuffed with more than 100 entries including marching bands, horse-drawn and motorized floats, a sprinkling of happy Grinches and a couple of reindeer for make sure everything ran on time. It was followed early that evening by the lighting of the majestic courthouse and the trees in its square, highlighting more Prescott traditions like choirs, carols and former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett reading the biblical Christmas story. The evening was closed out by a surprise fireworks finale.
