Started in Tombstone to celebrate Tombstone, Arizona, “The Town Too Tough to Die” in 1929, Helldorado has become the grandest celebration of the real wild west found anywhere on Earth! John Clum, former owner of the Tombstone Epitaph newspaper, and former mayor of Tombstone once wrote this about the original 1929 celebration:
“The citizens of Tombstone extended a whole-hearted welcome to their Helldorado Days visitors and were tireless in their courtesies and sincere endeavors to give everyone a good time. The fine spirit of hospitality and friendliness on the part of the Helldorado hosts was cordially reciprocated by the thousands of visitors who thronged the Helldorado area. I have never seen more orderly and uniformly good-natured crowds. All seemed bent on making merry in a considerate and neighborly fashion.”
