The special section was produced by the newspaper for an all-volunteer Lost Dutchman Days Committee. Staff members who helped produce the newspaper included: Deb Crotzer, advertising services; Sandy Heath and Scott Taylor, advertising representatives; Tina Pendexter, business manager; Alexander Foote and Nora Heston, editorial staff members; and Richard Dyer, guide editor.
Tina and Richard also attended many of the volunteer committee’s meetings beginning in September.
The annual event celebrates a lost gold mine of the 1890s that is believed to be in the Superstition Mountains adjacent to the city of Apache Junction. Advance to 2012 and it is celebrated with three days of rodeo, a carnival, parade, arts and crafts fair and other associated events.
This year, with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Arizona’s statehood, actors representing President Theodore Roosevelt and Gov. George W. P. Hunt were in the parade and spoke at various events.
Photos were snapped and the weekend’s activities will be reported on in the March 7 newspaper.
