Route 66 Festival Celebrates Strong Turnout Amid Showers:
The weekend’s fifth edition of the beloved I Route 66 gathering at Lewis Kingman Park pulled in more than 5,000 guests from across 16 states, shrugging off drizzly weather with a lineup of live performances, artisan vendors, craft beers, kid-friendly games, a thrilling zipline ride, a silent dance party, and a fresh showcase of post-1985 vehicles featuring about 50 entries.

Boost for Nonprofits:
Fresh Tourism Funding Unlocked: Local charities can now tap into a $25,000 pool of reimbursable grants to spruce up attractions that draw crowds and highlight the area’s heritage—think site restorations or better visitor access. Groups must chip in at least half the costs, with priority for bigger contributions; projects can’t top $50,000 overall and need to wrap by late 2026. Submit ideas after a quick chat with staff by November 28 for a shot at December approvals.
Call for Business Minds:
Economic Panel Spot Open: Kingman leaders are scouting a volunteer to join the Economic Development Advisory Commission through 2028, helping shape growth plans, link businesses with city goals, and pitch the town as a prime spot for new ventures. Meetings happen every other month; apply online or via the clerk’s office by December 1.
Quiet Polls:
No Votes Today in Mohave County: With zero races or propositions making the cut, Election Day passes uneventfully here—next action kicks off in 2026. Officials urge folks to check voter rolls and future dates via the county site or hotline.
