“A community's history is what makes it unique, and Sedona has some really fascinating stories to dig into,” Myers said. “I'm excited to share my interpretation of our community's history. I hope those who attend this talk will leave with a whole new appreciation for what makes Sedona special. I hope so.”

Myers' presentation explores the history of Red Rock Country from its early inhabitants to today. Familiar stories are presented from a different perspective, forcing audiences to consider what they think they know about the history of the Sedona community.

If prospective participants think they're going to sit through boring lectures, Meyers says think again. “Of course, we'll talk about very serious things in our presentations.
