We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the former Mayor of Payson, Chris Higgins.

There was no greater champion for small, local businesses like ours than Chris.

His generosity, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our community and its youth was an example to us all.

You will be greatly missed.

KRIM's Community Spotlight was just one of many ways you went above and beyond for local businesses, nonprofits, and events:

One of our hobbies is photographing our beautiful Rattlesnakes. We are very excited to hang these in "The Zoo" at Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion. Coming 2026 to Payson, AZ.

"The Zoo" at Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion is coming along nicely. 24 non-venomous enclosures are installed in the main/native (AZ) room, with an additional 16 venomous and large enclosures on the way for this room!

We are so excited to expand our educational reach with our public Reptile Zoo/Serpentarium opening in Payson this Spring. Don't worry if you're not a fan of snakes, there will be plenty more to see - including a whole room dedicated to frogs and toads.

There's a lot of work to do still, but we are so excited to share some progress at "The Zoo" at Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion. Opening this Spring on the Beeline Highway in Payson. Our public Serpentarium/Reptile House/Zoo will feature hundreds of Reptiles and Amphibians, including many rattlesnakes (of course). Not a snake person, how about a room dedicated to frogs - dozens of them, from all over the world.
This main room will feature 40 Native Arizona Species.

There's still a few days to vote for Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion for best Dog Trainer in Rim Country. You can vote EVERY DAY.

Not only have we trained thousands of Rim Country Dogs to avoid potentially lethal encounters with Rattlesnakes, but we keep our community at the heart of everything we do - this year, ARA has donated or discounted $20,000 worth of Rattlesnake Aversion Training for veterans, first responders, seniors, teachers, and locals.

We also give back to local youth, providing countless educational opportunities for local students through partnerships with schools, churches, and youth groups, but we are not done there. This Spring we will be opening "The Zoo" at Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion. A reptile house/serpentarium/zoo featuring hundreds of snakes, lizards, and amphibians.
