MORENCI — The 2025 Town and Country Festival at Wakefield Park may only be a few months in the past, but work is already underway for next year’s festival.

Acting on a recommendation from festival chair Sue Snyder, the Morenci City Council approved a contract with Native Engineering & Amusements to provide the rides at the 2026 event. The action was taken at the council’s Aug. 11 meeting.

Native Engineering & Amusements also provided the rides at this year’s festival.

The 2026 Town & Country Festival is scheduled for May 28-30.

A deposit of $5,000 for the rides will be due in January.
