Rex Allen Days marked its 75th year the weekend of October 2, 2026, with more than 80 vendors and goat roping for the first time
Willcox's Rex Allen Days turned 75 the weekend of October 2, 2026, and organizers called it the largest in the festival's history. More than 80 vendors set up, and the program included a country fair and carnival from 4 to 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, a gun show, a rodeo, live music, and goat roping for the first time.
Two nights of carnival and a rodeo means hours of lines at the food stands. Any vendor selling cold lemonade, corn dogs or beef needs somewhere to keep stock cold in October sun. A portable refrigerated trailer behind a row of booths holds product for the weekend, and a generator trailer powers it in a field with no hookups. Organizers can price the rental in the rental calculator.

Donations of more than $80,000 poured in for Rex Allen Days, including $50,000 from a Cochise County dairy
The 75th Rex Allen Days came together with a wave of community donations: more than $80,000, including $50,000 from Riverview LLC, a Cochise County dairy. The gifts arrived as the festival prepared for its biggest year. A dairy knows what a hot weekend does to product, so cold storage is part of the business.
Festival organizers who feed a crowd for three days face the same problem. Milk, cheese, ice cream and meat all spoil quickly in warm weather. A 20ft refrigerated trailer at the fairgrounds can hold the whole food booth lineup's stock, and a 12ft refrigerated trailer works for one vendor or a single beverage station.

The Willcox Wine Country Festival returns to Railroad Park on October 17, 2026
The Willcox Wine Country Festival returns to Railroad Park on North Railroad Avenue in Willcox on Saturday, October 17, 2026, starting at 11 a.m. The city's listing says more information is coming from willcoxwinecountry.org. The festival centers on wines from Arizona's Willcox-area wineries, poured in the park downtown.
A tasting festival lives or dies on its cold chain. White wines and rosés need to be chilled, cheese and charcuterie plates need cold storage, and a hot day in the park can dent the afternoon. Organizers can bring in a 20ft refrigerated container or a portable refrigerated trailer to hold wine and food at a steady temperature and keep the pour line moving.

The Willcox Wine Country Spring Festival ran April 18-19, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day
The spring Willcox Wine Country Festival ran April 18 and 19, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at Willcox Wine Country, 157 N. Railroad Avenue. It features Arizona farm wineries from the Willcox Wine Country consortium, and the Cochise Graham Wine Council is the contact for festival details.
Two festival days with the same wineries and the same crowd is a lot of cases of wine and food to chill. An open-air pour is hard to keep cold without a place to store the stock. A portable refrigerated trailer behind the tasting area keeps bottles and cheese at a steady temperature, with a generator trailer if the lot has no power.

The fifth annual Lavender Festival ran June 13, 2026 in Willcox, with wine, craft beer and music
The fifth annual Lavender Festival in Willcox took place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 6345 S. Rhumb Line Way. The event for guests 21 and over offered local wine tasting, craft beer, artisan vendors, live music and food, with tickets from about $5.
A June festival in a lavender field means heat, and heat is hard on beer kegs, wine and food. Kegs warm up quickly in direct sun, and a vendor running out of cold drinks by the afternoon loses sales. A 12ft refrigerated trailer can hold kegs and bottles at the back of the field, and a mobile kitchen trailer lets a caterer cook where there is no building.
Fires
The Stronghold Fire broke out northeast of Willcox on April 28, 2025 and grew past 2,000 acres
The Stronghold Fire started northeast of Willcox in Cochise County on Monday, April 28, 2025, and had burned at least 2,000 acres by the time the first reports came out. Spring wildfires like this are a reminder of how quickly a smoky afternoon can turn into an evacuation notice in dry grassland.
A grower, packer or grocer near a fire has to plan around power loss, road closures and the chance that a cooler will be shut off by a utility. A generator trailer keeps a walk-in running, and a portable refrigerated trailer can be moved to a safe lot if a business needs to relocate perishable stock for a few days.

Storms and outages
Crews rescued two people swept away by floodwaters in Cochise County in September 2026
KOLD reported on September 10, 2026 that crews rescued two people who had been swept away by floodwaters in Cochise County. The Arizona Silver Jackets, working with the National Weather Service and the Army Corps of Engineers, have held free flood-risk workshops at the Willcox Community Center on West Stewart Street.
After a flood, a store may be dry but cut off by a washed-out road, and a restaurant may have power but no deliveries. A generator trailer keeps coolers running when the grid is down, and a portable refrigerated trailer holds stock on higher ground. Being prepared means knowing where the trailer would go before the storm arrives.

Tombstone's 97th Helldorado Days ran October 16-18, 2026, the same weekend as the Willcox wine festival
Helldorado Days, billed as the oldest celebration of the Wild West, ran October 16 to 18, 2026 in Tombstone. It was the 97th annual edition of the festival, and it overlapped with the Willcox Wine Country Festival on October 17. Anyone supplying food or drink in the county had two destinations to cover.
When two big weekend events overlap across a county, vendors have to decide where to send their coolers. A 20ft refrigerated trailer can be booked for one site while a 12ft refrigerated trailer goes to another. Planning the split ahead of time keeps either site from running short.
Tombstone held its 97th Helldorado Days on October 16-18, 2026
Tombstone is about 39 miles south of Willcox.

A Valentine's Day fire in February 2024 destroyed two historic buildings on Bisbee's Main Street
A fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. on February 14, 2024 at 30 Main Street in Bisbee. Crews spent most of the next day containing it. The fire destroyed two historic buildings, and investigators later suspected an electrical cause. Main Street closed for the foreseeable future, though many nearby businesses reopened the next day.
A restaurant that loses its kitchen can keep serving from a mobile kitchen trailer, and a portable refrigerated trailer holds the stock while the building is rebuilt. That kind of backup plan helps whether the business is in Bisbee or in Willcox's Railroad Avenue district.
Storms and outages
Hail and floodwater hit Bisbee on the night of August 5, 2026, flooding the Copper Queen's lobby
Severe storms hit southern Arizona on the night of August 5, 2026. In Bisbee, hail fell for about an hour, floodwater ran through the streets and the underpass at the traffic circle flooded. At the Copper Queen Hotel, ice clogged the roof drains, the lobby flooded and hail broke windows. Cochise County opened free sandbag drop-off sites.
A county-wide storm like this tests every restaurant and grocer's backup plan. When a lobby floods or a cooler is out for a day, a portable refrigerated trailer in a dry lot protects the stock, and a generator trailer keeps it running. Businesses in Willcox and across Cochise County can plan ahead and call before the storm hits.
