Happy Halloween Eve from Historic Willcox, Arizona

Halloween Sheriff in Willcox, AZ

We went down to the old western town of Willcox, Arizona today. We drove slowly through town because the Halloween Sheriff was watching. Willcox, Arizona is a historic old western town in Cochise County Arizona.   While we were there, we stopped and ate at Big Tex Bar-B-Que’s Dining Car Restaurant. It is bigger than it looks. The service and food at this family restaurant were great, and we will be back. We have to admit that we did not have barbeque though. Why? Because I was across the street looking for treasures in a thrift shop, and someone from Louisiana ordered for me. What was ordered? The Special – catfish and fries (Louisiana dish, of course). It was delicious though, but next time I will do my own ordering.   One of the Willcox locals recommended that we stop by Buffalo Sisters shop down the street. It was a cozy shop with antiques, art, furniture and other treasures. But the best part was meeting the  wonderful Buffalo Sisters shop owner, Jetti White (also known as Red Elk). She had a shop full of interesting things and friendly locals that we enjoyed talking to.   We heard some exciting things about Willcox’s Wine Country, and plan on returning during Rex Allen Days and Wings Over Willcox. We left, heading back to Tucson, riding into the Willcox sunset tonight.   For more information on Willcox - VisitCochiseCounty.com.   See a WILLCOX SLIDESHOW.
