History

First started in 1951, years before Rex Allen Days, Inc. was incorporated as a non-profit, The first Rex Allen Days events were held in honor of our local youth, once a bona-fid ranch cowboy, who made it big.  Never forgetting home, and never hesitating to announce he was from Willcox, since 1951 Rex came home for concerts, parades, and to support the building of a new hospital.  That Hospital today is the Northern Cochise Community Hospital, serving not just Willcox, but all of Southeastern Arizona!  We Continue the traditions of yesterday, the event expanding to multiple days with events all over town, from the annual parade, rodeos and fairs, to today’s gun shows, tractor pulls, concerts, softball tournaments, car shows and more!
