The 4th of July Celebration
has always been the highlight
of our annual events and this
year features a three day
event on Friday, Saturday,

another spectacular
Fireworks Show and our
Parade through the heart of
our community is lots of fun
and again this year we are
pleased to include a water
zone in the second half of the
Parade route. We are very
excited to have the bands
Mogollon and Siringo perform
and we are looking forward
to lots of food, arts & crafts,
the beer garden and
entertainment booths at the
Tall Timbers Park. More
information about this great
weekend below...

Carissa’s Run
Saturday, July 4th 6 am
What better way to start the 4th of
July weekend than taking part in the
7th annual Carissa’s Run 10K & 2
mile fun run/walk. Both runs start
and end at Capps Middle School. Race
day registration begins at 5:30 am
and the race begins at 6 am with the
firing of the anvil! Stay for the
pancake breakfast after the race
with plenty of time to head over to
the Heber-Overgaard parade.
Carissa’s Run was named after a
sweet young girl who brought joy to
her family during her brief life. In
Carissa’s memory and the memory
of other such dear children,
Carissa’s family and friends wanted
to do something to benefit the
children of our community. Proceeds
from Carissa’s Run are being set
aside for the purchase of much
needed new playground equipment at
Tall Timbers Park in HeberOvergaard. Registration forms,
course maps , and much more
information can be found at:
www.carissasrun.org
*Race application found on next page
*Race day registration is cash or
check only. Credit card payment
accepted at the Chamber of
Commerce through Friday.
The fun gets started on
Friday from noon to 6 pm
with music from Siringo,
food vendors, beer
garden, and more!
Following the Parade on
Saturday, the festivities
continue from 12 noon to
6 pm. And on Sunday from 10
am until 3 pm. There are
Food Booths, all kinds of
Arts and Craft Booths,
Products and inflatables
for the kids. Be sure to
stop by the Beer Garden
for a wide variety of
beers.
This year we are pleased
to again provide a shuttle
service from the park to
the High School. No need
to worry about parking in
crowded lots - shuttle
bus runs 2 pm until after
the fireworks. More

Parking
We are often asked: why do
we need to pay for parking? To
put it simply, it’s one of the
ways
we pay for the
fireworks show and
entertainment. Our fireworks
show, one of the best in the
state and this year again, a
concert by the very popular
band “Mogollon” are free for all
to enjoy. The parking fees as
well as other fundraising
projects are used to pay for
the fireworks and
entertainment. There is no
“city” or “county” or tax
revenue to pay for this annual
event. Dozens of volunteers
are involved and hundreds of
hours of time and labor are
donated. The objective of the
Chamber is to provide a great
time and fun event for locals
and visitors alike while
showcasing Heber-Overgaard
to our friends and guests.
Your contribution at the
parking lots makes a big
difference and for that all of
us say...
Thank You and Enjoy the Show!
Shuttle Service & Parking
Saturday, July 4th
Buses will be running from Tall Timbers Park (with a stop at the
Griffin Propane Lot next to Ace Hardware and at Bison Ranch)
and the High School beginning at 2 PM and running back and
forth all day and after the Fireworks Show and Concert. Avoid
the crowded parking lots and let us do the driving! Park at Tall
Timbers Park, enjoy the festivities in the park then ride the bus
to the High School. After the show the buses will take you back
to your car at the Park for only $5 per person.
AUXILIARY VIP Parking at Tenney Hill above the High School GREAT view of the fireworks! Reserved tickets available at the
