After an 18-month period of not knowing, the Fountain Hills & Lower Verde River Valley Historical Society has confirmed that the 17th Hall of Fame Dinner is set for Wednesday, Oct. 27.
The 2020 event was canceled because of the pandemic. Each time the event was rescheduled, another challenge arose. The last trial was whether the Community Center, which has been undergoing renovations for the past several months, would be open in time for the Oct. 27 event.
“We have been waiting,” said President Barbara Hansen. “It hasn’t been easy, but we are ready to go.”
