Good morning RJ,

Maricopa is getting ready for the Wild West Festival. Planning to attend the event? Here are a few things you should know in preparation for this weekend’s festivities at Copper Sky Recreation Complex.

In our latest edition of the Cotton and Agriculture special section, we took a look at the cotton production for the year. While it is still a little early to determine how successful the cotton yield will be for Central Arizona in 2023, the projections are calling for it to be a pretty bad year, according to the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension.

Plus, in sports, the Maricopa Rams are gearing up for another big game tonight. The Rams will take on Tucson in our Pinal Preps Game of the Week and have a shot at getting over the .500 mark. Check out the full preview here.
