Mary Hamilton, Parker Area Chamber of Commerce Director said, "It's been such a wonderful experience working with the all the chambers from around the county on this project." 50,000 brochures, or "Passports," are being distrib- uted throughout the county at local businesses and Chamber of Com- merce offices county-side. As explained by the Team's Chair- person Lynda Goldberg, people will be able to take their Passports to "stampable" events and attractions around the county. When a partici- pant gets 3 stamps at events in any community, they earn a "Boarding Pass" ticket into the prize drawing which will be held at the La Paz County Fair in March. Winners need not be present to win but will need to make arrangements to pick up any prizes won. Quartzsite events that are "stampable" include Hi Jolly Daze Parade, QIA Gem Show, QIA Gold Show, Stage Stop Museum, Gunny's Military Museum, & more! County-wide events include: Best in the Desert Racing Asso- ciation off-road races in Parker, the CRIT Museum, the Camp Bouse Dedication in February, the Great Arizona Outback Chili Cook-Off in February in Salome and much more!
