Mogollon, (pronounced Mug-e-
Sunday 10 - 2
of Heber-Overgaard. The name is
on) began in our own community
derived from the “Mogollon Rim”.
Playing music was a good way for
a few high school buddies to
impress the girls and after a few
performances around the area,
people agreed this “hobby” of
theirs had potential to become
more. And they were right!
Today Mogollon has earned the
reputation as one of the Premier
Country Rock Entertainment
groups in the West and continues
to keep their high standard. Their
scope of performing ability is
anything, from Hank
Williams to Pink Floyd to their
original songs.
With great vocals, incredible
guitar wizardry, dueling fiddles,
and a high energy stage show,
Mogollon has left people of all
ages and all musical tastes
wanting more! We are thrilled to
have our “home grown” band
back in Heber-Overgaard for our
4th of July celebration weekend.
A D M I S S I O N TO T H I S

Parking !
We are often asked: why do
we need to pay for parking? To
put it simply, it’s one of the
ways we pay for the fireworks
show and entertainment. Our
fireworks show, one of the
best in the state and this year
again, a concert by the very
popular band “Mogollon” are
free for all to enjoy. The
parking fees as well as other
fundraising projects are used
to pay for the fireworks and
Shuttle Service & Parking
entertainment. There is no
Saturday, July 5th !
“city” or “county” or tax
revenue to pay for this annual
event. Dozens of volunteers
are involved and hundreds of
hours of time and labor are
donated. The objective of the
Chamber is to provide a great
time and fun event for locals
and visitors alike while
showcasing Heber-Overgaard
Buses will be running from Tall Timbers Park (with a stop at the Griffin
Propane Lot next to Ace Hardware and at Bison Ranch) and the High
School beginning at 2 PM and running back and forth all day and after
the Fireworks Show and Concert. Avoid the crowded parking lots and
let us do the driving! Park at Tall Timbers Park, enjoy the festivities in the
park then ride the bus to the High School. After the show the buses will
take you back to your car at the Park for only $5 per person.
$5 per car
to our friends and guests.
