It's that time of year again The Annual Fun Run is coming to Kingman!

First held in 1988 the Fun Run attracts people from all over the US and even brings in cars from foreign countries. The 3 day event starts May 1, starts in Seligman and travels 140 miles to Topock. The Run stops in Kingman on Saturday where the cars are on display downtown at Locomotive Park and leaves after the Pancake Breakfast on Sunday morning at the Power House.

Activities along the way include music, dancing, cruising, food and fun.

Anyone can participate and I intend to run from Seligman to Kingman in my old 2005 Honda!

Did you know that the longest continuous stretch of the old "Mother Road" left in the U.S. runs from
Ash Fork, AZ to the Colorado River in Topock. When you are in the Northwest Corner of Arizona, take the ride.

HMMC is currently filming a video of Kingman for their website. The video will be used to recruit employees for the new hospital scheduled to open in the Fall. MedCath the owners of the new hospital plan to later edit the video to provide information to the public about the community and hospital. It will highlight the best of Kingman and promote our community as the perfect place to live.

We can expect to see the video on the companies website within the next 30 days.

We have all suffered from the recent 19% increase in electricity rates and I'm happy to announce that Unisource is dropping rates on electricity approximately 21% as of June 1. Unisouce has announced that the rates will be since they took control of our power since 2003.

The drop is due to the reduced cost of natural gas and the Arizona Corporation Commissions "purchase price and fuel adjustment system put in place several years ago that resets electricity rates once a year based on the price of natural gas.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Unisource has said that it would be seeking an increase in distribution rates in 2010.

Take time on April 9 to visit Kingman's Wildlife Fair. Free and open to the public the event will be held at Kingman Academy from 6 to 9 p.m. This is a youth event sponsored by Arizona Game and Fish and will be youth oriented. Past events hosted 2000 guests.

View live birds, mammals, several species of rattlesnakes and other native wildife. There will also be interactive hunting and fishing games. Don't forget to bring your camera. Photo ops will be available. For more information, contact Game and Fish @ (928) 692-7700.

Well it's not what we had hoped for, but at least our airline service is back.

On Monday, Great Lakes announced that they will begin offering flights between Kingman and Ontario, California. Once again we will be able to connect Kingman to the national transportation system.

We lost our provider last June and it is great to see it back. Great Lakes spokesmen have said it is their goal to get service from Kingman to Las Vegas and we hope to see it in the near future.

Service will also be provided from Kingman to Farmington, NM, the airlines maintenance facility.

Welcome to Kingman--Great Lakes Airlines!
