In honor of Carefree's 40th anniversary, in the video below which was recorded by Herbert, long time residents of Carefree share their stories about the town's history and evolution. This event was hosted by Spirit in the Desert and moderated by Preston Westmoreland, with special guest Ruth Palmer, daughter of Carefree's co-founder, K.T. Palmer. After the opening speech by Mayor John Crane, the main event began.

As you can see in the videos, the event was very well attended. The raconteurs had fascinating tales to share with the audience in attendance and those watching remotely via the livestream. Wine was served afterwards so everyone could mingle and ask questions of the speakers. A good time was had by all!
