Judy Bluhm
Dear Judy,
My wife and I are looking to sell our home of thirty-five years and buy a motor home. We want to travel around this beautiful country while we still have our health. We are both in our seventies. Our grown children think we have lost our minds and one daughter says to sell the family home is “cruel.” We just want a few good years before we decide where to “land” next. We have never done anything like this before, but feel pretty confident. Our kids think we should rent out the house and rent a motor home for a few months to see if we like it. But we are “done” with this house. Too much work. Do you think it is wiser to sell or rent? We really don’t want to be bothered with the stress of becoming landlords and now seems like a good time to sell. Thanks!
~ Ready to Hit the Road
Dear Ready,
I think you and your wife have already made up your minds! And it seems like you are excited for your next adventure. This is not really a real estate question, since it mostly pertains to family matters. Yes, grown kids often like the thought of their folks staying put in the house that has shaped many happy memories. But this is “your time” and it sounds like you have no interest in being a landlord and you are ‘done” with the house. While it is a good time to rent, it is also a great time to sell. Our inventory is low and demand remains high. Whether to sell or rent is a personal decision based on your goals. And it sounds like you have decided. Let the journey begin! And let me know if I can help. Happy Trails!

2020 2020 3-4 Oct.
magical weekend of music and fun awaits at the 42nd annual Prescott FOLK MUSIC FEST hosted by Sharlot Hall Museum
Musicians from throughout the Southwest trek to the four-acre, park-like Museum campus where jamming is king, music is sweet, and the ambiance performs in concert.
More than 200 musicians are expected to be on site and participate in as many as 90 performances at four (maybe five) venues. It’s part of what makes FOLK MUSIC FEST the longest running music festival of its type in Arizona so popular.
Chances are several of your favorite soloists or groups will be performing at either indoor and outdoor locations... will be sharing tips, techniques and stories at one of 24 workshops ...and will be jamming with other musicians in various nooks and crannies of the campus.
And most performance sets will be extended to 40-minutes in the hour, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to enjoy your favorite artists and their best selections.
The rotating schedule allows Museum staff during the performance breaks to sanitize the venue (to maintain appropriate health and safety standards), and gives you time to check out a nearby performance or a Museum exhibit.
The genre of music that will be performed at FOLK MUSIC FEST continues to reflect the many decades of time and the vitality when first begun back in 1978 as a simple community celebration of the golden anniversary of the Museum’s opening.
Four decades later, the FEST has grown from a handful of local musicians to a gathering (and homecoming) for talented vocalists and ensemble members from throughout the Southwest.
Admission for either day of entertainment is $8 for adults, $5 for Museum members, and free for youth 17-and-under; a two-day pass is $12/person. The fresh air and sunshine is free.
Amid concerns during the COVID -19 pandemic, visitors and guests may be encouraged to maintain social distancing and to wear face coverings (masks).
For more information, contact the Museum at (928) 445-3122 or check out the website: www.sharlothallmuseum.org/folk-music-fest
