people struggle to feed their pets, they began donating free packages of dog and/or cat to unemployed residents so that they could con-tinue to feed their pets during the pandemic. They also partnered with El Gato Azul to donate pet food for the restaurant’s customers that received needed food during that time.
But it is not only during times of emer-gency that Robyn and Tori give this kind-ness. Year round they have a barrel with bagged pet foot that people can take for free as well as bins for other donations that go to those in need. From dog and cat beds, to collars, leashes and crates, these are all shared on a daily basis in the store.
We are fortunate to have Robyn and Tori as part of our Prescott Valley family.
Congratulations to Robyn Hazlewood and Tori Simpson, Business Leaders of the Year.
2020 Citizen of the Year
2020 Business Leader of the YearRobyn Hazlewood, Tori Simpson
From the moment they opened the doors Pet Headquarters became Prescott Valley’s hometown pet store. They offer a variety of pet food and supplies, a dog washing station, grooming and dog training class-es. Since opening in they have become a strong supporter of the Prescott Valley Community.

Feyerabend, continued from page 1out and offered her newspaper experience to Alianza, a small local publication which mostly reported soccer news. Shortly thereafter, Alianza passed to Rosanna, and she has grown it into a respected 16-page weekly newspaper that keeps the Hispanic com-munity informed about sports, social events, government and general news.
Rosanna has used her community organizational skills to spearhead the Dia del Nino Festival and Miss Yavapai County Latina Pageants, among others. She has worked tire-lessly to bridge the Hispanic Community with the Prescott Valley Police Department through such events as the annual Puente de la Communidad. Other events she has led include a Hispanic fundraiser for the local Food Bank and a Solidarity Campaign for earthquake victims in Oaxaca, Mexico with the Hispanic Christian Churches in the Northern Arizona area.
As its founder, Rosanna is proud to support The Alianza Institute, Inc. Non-Profit Organization to help people reach their full potential through literacy and educational programs. In 2015, she was honored to be invited to the White House as part of a dele-gation of 100 outstanding Peruvians to celebrate the Day of the Independence of Peru.
In 2020, Rosanna has been invaluable in encouraging our Hispanic community to respond to the 2020 Census, which brings crucial funding for Town services into the future.
Congratulations Rosanna Feyerabend, Prescott Valley’s 2020 Citizen of the Year!

Sept 4 - 11 Patriot WeekSept 7 Labor Day HolidaySept 26 Team Up to Clean Up at Chamber
August was a very busy month for us, much of which is re-capped in this news magazine.
Big news is that Prescott Val-ley will be home to an Indoor Arena Football team. Prelimi-nary work is being done such as naming it, getting the coaching and staff together and of course, getting the players. This team will be in the same league as the Rattlers in Phoenix and the Sugar Skulls in Tucson. Looks like some very fun rivalries are ahead. Season will start in March and run through July. More information will be shared as it comes out.
We are still doing a lot of our meetings virtually via zoom and while it is not my favoaite way to commu-nicate, it does keep everyone connected. Brady con-ducted his first membership orientation via zoom and it worked out very well. I am seeing this as a very good alternative when you cannot get out of the office.
We had great fun delivering our new teacher wel-come bags. Thank you to our businesses who contrib-uted to make our teachers smile with happiness. We have the best community!
I hope you are continuing to follow us on Facebook and are reading our weekly eFlash messages. Critical information regarding quidelines, restrictions, grant and loan opportunities and business survival informa-tion continues to flow at a fast pace and we are keep-ing you up to date with the morst current and relevant resources and information.
And in the midst of all this covid craziness we once agan welcome the Prescott Valley Healing Fields of Northern Arizona from Sept. 4 to the 11th. Visit the fields that will be at the PV Civic Center for time to honor and remember those lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. A complete schedule of activities is in this news maga-zine.
And one last thing...Sending Best Wishes for happi-ness to Brady and Sierra who will be tying the know on Sept. 19. Cheers to your new lives beginning.
We are Prescott Valley Together!Shop local, Support local, Stay local!
The Indoor Football League announced that Prescott Valley has been
awarded a new team franchise. The team, name to be announced, will make Findlay Toyota Center is new home and games will start in March 2021.

Community Excellence Awards 2020
2020 Organization of the YearFirefighter Angel Foundation
What started out as assistance to a fam-ily in need by Cody and Tammy Rose has grown into an organization that serves and supports families in the entire quad-city re-gion and beyond.
The Firefighter Angel Foundation is a 501©3 non -profit foundation organized ex-clusively for the charitable purpose of pro-viding a positive impact on families in crisis and/or need. Each year during the Christ-mas holiday families with children in need, in crisis or have fallen on hard times are identified and provided with food, gifts and other essential items. All this is delivered by a caravan of public safety vehicles which include fire trucks and police cars. The impact on the kids and families is priceless.
The Foundation relies on donations and their fundraisers to raise the money to support them. They have two major fundraisers, the Pancake Breakfast at the Firehouse and the Gear up Car Show. Both are fun and family friendly events which generate the much needed revenue support.
In addition to the holiday giving, the Firefighter Angel Foundation also partners with the Humboldt Unified School District for the Fill the Bus, and the Back to School Giveaway.
The Firefighter Angel Foundation is all volunteer run and with the leadership of Cody and Tammy
Rose and the involvement of the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Au-thority they are an organization that rises to the top of community service and giving.
Congratulations to the Firefighter Angel Foundation, Organization of the Year.

2020 Chamber Member of the YearKooiman Construction
Last year the Chamber Board of Directors ap-proved a plan to expand the of-fice space for the
Chamber and the Visitor Center. At that same time the suite adjacent to the north of the Chamber became avail-able and working with Kooiman Construction plans were drawn up to best make use of the new area. Included in the design were a new board and training room, office, storage and lobby area.
Through the planning, demolition, redesigning, con-struction and finish work, Kooiman Construction led the work. We are proud of the finished space; it is a welcome addition and one our members can better utilize. The award is given to a Chamber member who goes above and beyond in support of the Chamber and Kooiman Con-struction did just that in the addition of the new office space. We cannot thank them enough.
Congratulations to Kooiman Construction, Chamber Member of the Year.
2020 Prescott Valley Heritage AwardWoody Lewis
For more than 35 years, Building Of-ficial Woody Lewis has been a part of Prescott Valley’s growth, and Com-munity Development Director Rich-ard Parker said Woody has probably inspected nearly every square foot of the Town’s more than six million square feet of commercial buildings.
Woody has played an integral part of growing the Town through common
sense inspection practices and application of the building codes, all with exceptional customer service. Town Manager Larry Tarkowski, who has worked with Woody for more than 30 years, said “Woody has distin-guished himself in Northern Arizona as an exceptionally great advocate for contractors and for safe construction practices. In addition, he has worked hard at building community development employees by impressing upon them the importance of customer service and reasonable practices.”
Permit technician Lyn Newton, a 38-year employee, said in her years of working with Woody she has never heard anyone say a derogatory word about him. “His approach has always been, ‘I’m sorry, you may not be able to do it this way, but let’s see how we can do it.’ He felt the Town and the customer were a team, and together we could work it out. And mostly, we did. He is unbelievably knowledgeable and effective in all things dealing with building construction.”
Congratulations Woody Lewis, you are truly a part of Prescott Valley’s rich heritage.
