On the Saturday before Easter, the Payson Rodeo Committee held the inaugural Iron Horse Rodeo Run; a motorcycle run for the benefit of Veterans Helping Veterans.
The run started at Superstition Harley-Davidson and traveled up through Payson and into Strawberry. Participants made stops at Jakes Corner Bar & Grill, the Buffalo Bar, Tonto Rim Bar & Grill, the Pinewood Tavern, and the Sportsman Chalet Bar & Grill.
The ride culminated in Payson at the Elks Lodge with food, vendors and a bike show.
âThe intent of this event is to help our veterans, but also to bring our town to the attention of riders from the Valley for them to get to know more about the Payson area and our businesses,â said John Landino. âThis will be an annual event held each year the week before Bike Week in Arizona.â

Itâs the small-town charm Sheila and her husband Wiley were looking for when they bought Jakes Corner Store and reopened it on Jan. 4.
âI love small towns and this is great,â Sheila said. âThis community has been so supportive. Iâve met so many wonderful people here. To have the backing of the community is great. Iâve never met such hard-working people in my life.â
Wiley also loves to cook when heâs not working on a construction project. The store and construction business are both under the R3S Ventures LLC umbrella.
