From Oct 19th - 21st, Companions and Sir Knights from 5 States/Jurisdictions came together at the Colorado River Fall Festival (CRFF) which took place in Laughlin, NV. Represented were; Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah and a truly GRAND time was had by all. If you are not familiar with this Festival, this event is hosted at the end of October annually. This even brought together 30 candidates from more than 5 States, and who all enjoyed being conferred, both the Capitular Degrees for both Chapter and Council, and the Chivalric Orders of Commandery. A spectacular show of pomp, pageantry, and outstanding Ritual!
If your cable tow allows, you should make an effort to attend!
Arizona has the privilege of adding 15 new Sir Knights to our Order!
Please help me in congratulating, our newest Companions and Sir Knights to our ranks! Huzzah!
