Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.

Sip in Style
Planning an event comes with countless details, but when it comes to drinks, A Cold Pony ensures you can sit back, relax, and sip in style. This innovative mobile bar and cocktail service combines professional expertise with creative customization, offering an unforgettable experience for events across Arizona—and beyond.
From inspiration to reality, the vision for A Cold Pony began with a simple observation. While bartending in the mid-2000s, founder Kelly Tolbert frequently received requests to handle private events, from holiday gatherings to backyard parties. Realizing the need for professional mobile bartending services, she launched her journey in 2005, serving events directly in clients’ homes. By 2019, she transformed her concept into something truly unique: a beautifully revamped horse trailer, “A Cold Pony,” bringing charm and convenience to events of all kinds.
Unlike traditional bars, A Cold Pony offers a personalized and intimate experience. As the face of the company, Kelly takes pride in facilitating every event herself, ensuring memorable interactions for guests. Custom signage and themed decorations further elevate the experience, whether it’s a rustic wedding, a chic corporate event, or a lively birthday party. A Cold Pony caters to a wide range of events and can be set up indoors or outdoors, requiring a small footprint.

Food, Family and Friends: The Best Recipe in Life
Prescott Valley was founded by ranchers, and even today the ranch is considered the heart of the land, giving life and sustenance to the people who live there. Much like the ranch, the kitchen is the heart of the home where the family (by blood or by choice) gather to connect over meals made with endearment.

Living (and Making Wine) in a World-Class Wine Region
Between them, Maricor and Richard Skladzien have lived in lots of places: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and California. And they’ve enjoyed a variety of experiences in those places: they were an accountant and public works director, respectively, and they ran a coffee roasting company, grew grapes, and owned several stores.
The rolling hills of Paulden, Arizona—and a sense of adventure in retirement—provide the setting for their newest endeavor: They’re the owners of Del Rio Springs Vineyard and Winery, and its tasting room in downtown Prescott.
