Event Details
The Sedona Heritage Museum presents Michael Peach in "The Facts Keep Gettin' in the Way of the Story" on Saturday, October 5 at 1:30 p.m.
"Time takes its toll on the body and soul of a cowboy out on the range." Or, so says award-winning actor, playwright and historian Michael Peach in his new show. He continues: "There’s enough aggravation at roundup without getting' your insides all bound up. But serving bad food can start up a feud if the cowboy’s complaints start to mound up."
Mike spins tales using jokes, stories, first person narrative, and original cowboy poetry to explore the hard work and hard play of ranching and cowboy life. "If whiskey was their quest, men knew that the best came from Bill’s still outside of Sedona." But, women of the West aren't ignored in his new show. "And volatile confrontations were not the exclusive domain of men. For Jerome was known to be the home of some fierce ladies of sin."
Informative, entertaining and family appropriate, Mike's shows have long been a favorite of university, state and national parks, and historically-oriented audiences. His first book is also destined to be a favorite.Tickets are $6, with children under 12 free. Museum admission is separate.
The Sedona Historical Society operates the Sedona Heritage Museum on the Jordan Farmstead at 735 Jordan Rd in Jordan Park. The Museum is open daily at 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The Society seeks to research, preserve and teach the history of the greater Sedona area.

Educational
Slide Rock State Park Trails
0.25 mile trail with a difficulty rating of easy. This paved, level trail is suitable for all visitors and travels through a portion of the historic Pendley Homestead of Slide Rock State Park. Features along the trail include some of the original apple orchards, Pendley Homestead house, tourist cabins, apple packing barn, various farming implements that were used historically in the homestead, a new orchard of semi-dwarf apple trees, and spectacular views of the canyon walls of Oak Creek Canyon.
Slide Rock State Park Trails
This is a 0.3-mile trail with a difficulty rating of moderate. This primitive route along Oak Creek is the main access to the Slide Rock Swim Area. This is extremely popular area features a natural water slide along Oak Creek.
This path begins near the apple packing barn. It descends to the creek via steps where it then crosses the creek via a small footbridge. During periods of high runoff, the footbridge will not be in place and visitors will need to stay on the west side of the creek. After crossing the footbridge, proceed north along the sandstone shelves. In the summer months, many sunbathers will be using some of this route for sunbathing, therefore, you may have to step over quite a few of them. As you proceed, you may notice a historic rock cabin on the west side of the creek. The original homesteader used this in conjunction with a flume and water wheel to generate electricity for the homestead. You will arrive at an eight-foot wall that can be your turn-around point. If you decide to negotiate the wall, you can explore the remote areas upstream where the route becomes more primitive.
