The scenery is beautiful and many cactus specimens are planted all around. The event is free and you can see it from 8am-8pm every day. A few shops are open and they offer a variety of eateries. The Sand Sculptures are truly amazing and astonishing. I feel that only two sculptures isn't enough to call this an event.

When asked the question staff said magazines with that type of information is no longer available. The best. Thing to do is go in the web and do a search.

The tour guide Joseph was so kind and full of energy. The video you watch when you get there is a very heart felt explanation of the passion to continue this community. They own 800 acres and the property is built on 20 acres, it was built between 1971-1975 for the main spaces that are shared. 45 people live there but could range to 80. They show how the products and structure are made. I had no clue about silk casts and loved the hands on understanding and history. They have concerts, events, gatherings. Etc at the amphitheater. Check out the website. The cafe is closed. You can stay as a hotel guest overnight. They offer apprenticeship also.

Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years. Is appears to be a small artist community but we didn't see anything going on at the moment so couldn't tell if it id still active or they make everything south in Scottsdale at Cosanti. There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.

STAY AWAY I signed up to be a commercial vendor. I signed up in July for the event in November. I was in communication with Haley when I called. She answered my call, questions, and supplied me with the applications. Less than 40 minutes later I submitted those applications Fast forward to the week of the event and I haven't heard from them so I call and leave a message. No response. I call again Tuesday and Wednesday, no response. So Thursday night I send an email. No response.... Friday morning, morning of the event, I call again, nothing.... My guys show up to set up and get turned away at the door. Not to mention I work for a big company. She's asking me if I have receipts. It would take me personally 2 hours to get in touch with finance, get proof of payment, and supply it. There was literally nothing I can do, if I got proof of payment the event would have been 3 hours underway already I spoke to them on the phone to try and get in and she was incredibly rude and almost proud of the fact she was turning us down. I told her I've left multiple messages and emails sent contracts months ago and she didn't care. If you can avoid this company, I would. Solid events but 0 reliability.... This was the worst story but these type of things go years back (which is why I was months ahead with my preparation)
