On Wednesday September 18, Barry Mallis will  speak on “Sinaguan Echoes in the Verde Valley.”  This event will begin at 5:00 PM at KSB, 360 Brewer Road in Sedona. Doors will open at 4:30. As always, this event is free and open to the public.

Barry will share facts and artifacts to illuminate the presence, over the course of several hundred years, of pre-contact indigenous people in the Verde Valley.  

Barry Mallis and his wife, Melanie Vuicich-Mallis, have been litter lifters for years in Sedona.  Both have a lifetime of volunteering, including over a thousand hours at Red Rock State Park where Barry leads nature hikes and presents monthly programs on Sinaguan archaeology and anthropology.  Melanie, the “Bird Lady,” tends to the park’s Hummingbird Garden.  Barry has also led geology hikes for Friends of the Forest.
