Main & Quartzsite Blvd. 704-575-6719 NASCAR ACROSS FROM BURGER KING In Dec. 17th edition, Jo Jo Ochoa was in- correctly listed in Quartzsite Elementary School Students of the Month as attending the Self-Contained Class. He is attending Mrs. Heather's class. I apologize for any inconvience this may have caused. Correction use the camels as beasts of bur- den. However, the camels were not compatible with the Army mules and the experiment was cancelled in 1864. But, Hi Jolly remained in our area serving as an Army Scout for many years prior to his death in 1902. In 1935 the Governor of Ari- zona dedicated a monument in his honor, at the site of his Quartzsite grave. This monument, known as "Hi Jolly's Last Camp" is one of the most visited spots in Southwest Arizona. Quartzsite is still, to this day, one of the most visited spots in Arizona. The parade will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 10th. The parade starts at the Town Park (corner of Plymouth and Quail Trail), heads south on Plymouth to B-10, then west to Mesquite and then south around the southern side of the QIA ending at the QIA East parking lot across for VFW Post 769. Be sure to enjoy the fun at the Post after the parade for live music, delicious food, beer & wine, non-profi t fundraisers, vendors, and more! Parade Entry Forms are on Page 39 of this edition.
