Come for the Craft and Stay for the Comfort
Tucked just a few blocks away from downtown Prescott, LazyG Brewhouse has been a favorite for locals and visitors seeking craft beer, good food, and relaxed vibes. Now, under the progressive vision of owners Jim and Jean-Marie Bellington, LazyG is entering an exciting new chapter—one that continues its blend of live music, community spirit, and even a place to stay the night.
“This summer, we made that experience even more memorable by way of expanding our concept of craft and comfort,” said Jean-Marie.
The big news? In early July, LazyG unveiled its brand-new “bed-and-brew” lodging. Think cozy comfort via trendy accommodations just steps from the taproom. “It’s always been about creating an experience, not just a brewery. Having stayed in similar accommodations in the U.S., the charm and location of the LazyG Bed & Brew on Leroux Street was just what we were looking for,” she added.

Prescott Shines Bright
Prescott was officially designated as Arizona’s Christmas City in 1989 because the city had long been known for its festive holiday events. Today, Prescott offers a multitude of holiday attractions and is increasingly a destination for visitors looking for special ways to celebrate.
In 2022, the City of Prescott and Prescott Chamber of Commerce Foundation formed the official Arizona Christmas City Organization. This organization brought the city’s main holiday events together under one umbrella, enabling event organizers to collaborate on marketing, fundraising, and sponsorship assistance.
The following events now work together within the Arizona Christmas City Organization: the Prescott Holiday Light Parade, hosted by the Prescott Downtown Partnership; the Christmas Parade & Courthouse Lighting, hosted by the Prescott Chamber of Commerce; the Acker Night Music Festival, hosted by the Acker Foundation; and the Whiskey Row Boot Drop, hosted by the Whiskey Row Boot Drop, LLC.
This collaboration will continue to grow and help support each event financially for years to come.
Honoring Your Own Worth
Have you ever wondered how you’d react if someone tried to harm you? Most of us would rather not think about it—and if we did, we might assume we’d scream or run. The truth is, fear can freeze us, and physical strength alone often isn’t enough.
That reality hit home when I joined a two-hour workshop with Scott Shephard, founder of Fundamental Martial Arts (FMA) in Prescott, Arizona. I expected a short lesson in basic self-defense. Instead, it became a powerful wake-up call and, ultimately, a practice that reshaped how I move through the world.
