Michael, Unfortunatly it's a private party up on top of the hill... Nothing like eating lobster on someone else's ticket. Depending on your motive sometimes the party starts around 2:00.. OPPS that was the year I didnt see any fireworks, but if you are going for dinner show up early as there are a lot of people that gather.. sometimes the wait on the food can get rather long (unacceptable). If you show up by 7ish you can usually get a good parking spot. Park in the lot between the Buffalo Chip & Harolds. Take lawn chairs and a cooler...It's "tail gating Cave Creek style"
Usually a lot of things going on all around you... clowns (OPPS. Again that was me the year i didnt see the fireworks), TC & Harvey Walbanger (the buffalo) usually make and appearance somewhere horses all over the place. I stoped by last night & Harolds has this big ol tent already up in the parking lot and the two places were just a jammin.
Then on Tuesday it's Crazy Ed's Satisfried Frog... All you can eat Beef Ribs for 15 bucks + Sammy (the Brewmaster) brews up some pretty good beer. High octain stuff and again fireworks at 9 right across the street from there. It's a cool time in our community.
Last year they wer canceled two days before because of the fires in the foothills and all us merchants lost our butts. looking to make up for lost time this year.
See ya all there
