It’s time to “Saddle Up” at the River of Time for the first annual Spring “fun-raiser.”

Dust off those western boots and spend the evening kicking up to the sounds of the Audrey Hicks Country Band.

Never two-stepped or line-danced? The World Pro-Am Champion dance team of John Berry and Lisa Berry will be on-hand to teach easy-to-learn steps sure to enhance the moves of even those with two left feet.

Fountain Hills is built on the site of the former P-Bar Ranch. The P-Bar and Box Bar ranches flourished during the time when ranching was a big industry in the Lower Verde River Valley area, a press release read.

The museum features stories and memorabilia from the days when cattle was king and cowboys could roam the desert for days.

Party-goers will be able to view the ranching exhibits and explore the many stories of this part of Arizona told throughout the museum.

The event is Friday, April 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the River of Time Museum & Exploration Center.

Tickets are available at riveroftime.center, by calling 480-837-2612 or at the River of Time Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The $75 ticket includes a signature Saddle Up cocktail (or mocktail), light bites catered by Mountain View Kitchen, music, dance lessons and dancing into the night with the Audrey Hicks Band, along with special raffle items, games and prizes for the best boots, hats and country attire. In addition to the included signature cocktail, a cash bar is available all evening.

There are a limited number of tickets so the community is invited to join neighbors and friends and be part of this entertaining evening.
