“We are seeing an increase in admissions, which helps on the revenue side, we’re keeping a close eye on costs and we’re going after grants,” Flynn added. “But we’ll always need the community to remain involved and committed to the Prison.”
That’s the reason for the second annual “3:10 to Yuma” fundraiser, which will take place from 6-9 p.m. April 2, and includes dinner, drinks, entertainment and a live auction. The evening’s highlight will be the return of the Johnny Cash Tribute Show featuring Jimmie Ray and Cyndi Cantrell, a hit with Chain Gang members at the inaugural event last March.
Tickets are $50 per person, available by phone at 928-328-
8716 or at the Yuma Territorial Prison, open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“The focus of our fundraising effort this year is to purchase a replica of the Gatling gun that was on the prison guard tower,” Flynn said. “I have heard over and over that folks miss seeing that, so we aim to get it back.”
The April event will also be a great opportunity to see all the improvements made in the last year, Flynn said. “Even if you’ve visited the prison in the past, we think you’ll be impressed with its fresh new look and focus,” Flynn added.
“We’ve teamed up with the Yuma Visitors Bureau to aggressively market the Territorial Prison throughout the state and region, all with the goal of making the park self-sustaining.
As part of that effort, the prison now offers a “get into jail free” annual pass, along with engraved pavers for permanent installation along a “walk of fame.”
