‘It’s a Legacy’
Harold, who passed away in February, married Lorna in 1955 in Wellington, Ohio. They moved to Prescott and opened Watters Garden Center on Miller Valley Road.
By 1965, it quickly outgrew its original Miller Valley Road location, and the Watterses moved it to a spot on Plaza Drive. In 1983, it moved again, to its current location on Iron Springs Road.
Celebrating Life’s Moments
Tucked away in the heart of Prescott, Arizona, Willow Creek Inn offers more than just a place to host an event—it provides an unforgettable experience rooted in charm, history, and a genuine sense of welcome. Whether you’re planning a wedding, anniversary party, baby shower, or corporate celebration, Willow Creek Inn delivers a personalized and peaceful environment unlike any other.
Owned and operated by Nancy and Eric Bewley—33-year Prescott residents and dedicated community supporters who have helped raise funds for numerous local organizations—the inn reflects the warmth and creativity of its hosts. After outgrowing their previous location, the couple stumbled upon the historic 1877 Victorian manor.
“The inn was up for sale again,” Nancy shared. “I peeked in the windows and walked the property and knew that this gem would be a beautiful event spot.”

Her Perfect Fit
Sheryl Blosel has found her perfect fit. With a vast background in Information Technology (IT) and Database Management, her position as the Prescott Unified School District’s (PUSD) PowerSchool Administrator is just right.
PowerSchool, the student information system, is a database connected to the Arizona Department of Education via AzEDS, an Ed-fi model for Arizona that automates student data reporting—the vehicle by which the state calculates PUSD’s student funding. Most schools use some type of student information system, and Sheryl said she makes it “a personal mission to do quality internal audits for each school within the district to make sure schools are compliant with state/federal rules and regulations.”

A Stress-Free Holiday Season … Is That Possible?
Just imagine: it’s Thanksgiving morning and the kitchen is full with a few too many chefs. Notes of slow-roasting turkey and candied yams are wafting throughout the house, which is alive with kids running around outside, cousins setting the table, and a grandparent or two taking a nap in the corner as if all this happy chaos wasn’t happening right at their feet. You’re the host of this jolly affair, but as you take in the ambiance you realize that in all your planning for the big Thanksgiving feast you’ve forgotten to provide breakfast for your crew. Luckily, someone has thought ahead and pulls out a plate of scones they pre-ordered from Rafter Eleven for this very moment. The scones are warmed in the oven, breakfast is saved, and everyone is content to continue preparing for the main event.
Creating True Life Change
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month is recognized each October as a time to honor and remember those affected by intimate partner violence and other forms of abuse. Since 1980, Stepping Stones Agencies’ 24/7/365 advocacy services and safe shelter for adults and children affected by domestic violence have worked around the clock to ensure families can find the safety, support, and hope they need to live free from all forms of victimization in the future.

Year-round—and especially now—candles are an “essential business,” bringing calm and comfort with their warm glow and soothing fragrance.
It’s More than a Diet—it’s a Lifestyle
When is a diet not a diet at all? It sounds like a riddle, but the answer is easy: when it’s the Mediterranean diet. A more accurate name might be the Mediterranean lifestyle since a significant component of making this diet work is how you approach life. There are no strict dietary restrictions. A balanced social life and enjoying meals with others are key components. Laughter, reducing stress, and living are recommended.
The Mediterranean diet focuses on the quality of your food rather than a single nutrient or food group. It’s been proven to reduce the risk of chronic health conditions such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. A recent National Institute on Aging study reports that it may even help protect the brain from damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

Charming Sophistication
[Featured Venue] The Holiday Ballroom fills the space that was once the Grand Saloon and Restaurant, in the early 1900s (it was the last building to fill in after the fire of 1900). That history is part of what gives the room its unique character: authentic advertisements are still painted on the brick walls (which were the exterior walls of the building next door), and the hatch marks on the brick, which builders created to help the plaster stick, are still visible.
