Local historian MELISSA RUFFNER is widely known throughout Arizona and the West asPrescott’s “First Lady of Historical Record”. Melissa’s great-great-uncle, Morris Andrew Ruffner, settled in Prescott in 1867, and the family name has been one of the cornerstones of the Prescott Territory every since. Over the years, her local family tree has included a county sheriff, gold miners, Arizona’s first public school music teacher, Arizona’s first inductee into the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and many more colorful citizens and civic leaders. An award-winning dancer and stellar choreographer, COURTNEY MAZUR really knows how to move. Her fluid artistry across a dance floor has carried her beautifully into the winner’s circle many times over the past eight years. Courtney was the Dupree Jazz Scholarship winner for four years in a row, and took platinum as a soloist at the Showstoppers competition, ranking 10th overall. Formerly a member of the pre-professional dance company Rhythmotion and the NAU Dance Team, she teaches locally at The Dance Studio when she’s not performing.
