Town of Prescott Valley Gives Out “Light of PV Award”

The annual State of the Town event in Prescott Valley has announced an addition to its program: the Light of PV Award.

The town wants to recognize the inaugural honorees and recipients of the 2025 Light of PV Award: Don and Darlene Packard.

The Light of PV Award honors individuals, groups, or organizations who embody the spirit of Prescott Valley through their unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. It celebrates those who brighten the community with their actions, whether through leadership, service, innovation, or simply being a beacon of hope and inspiration.

The award features a replica of a heliograph, symbolizing how one bright light can illuminate so much. It is inspired by the history of Glassford Hill, where a heliograph was once used by the military to send messages using sunlight.
