🎥💛 Behind the scenes is where the magic found us. We danced between takes, cheered each other on, and remembered why we do this. It is for the artists with paint on sleeves, the bakers with flour on aprons, the hands that stitch, pour, roast, carve, and create with love for this place we call home.
The 2026 Flagstaff Crafted Gift Guide launches October 16 at the Flagstaff Celebrates Awards Gala. We cannot wait to share every page with you. Come feel the joy we felt making it and meet the people behind your favourite finds.

New Episode! 🎙️In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, Bobbi Delowsky talks honestly about how her career has changed over the years - from starting as a massage therapist to running her own wellness space called Align and Release Wellness.
Bobbi shares how her interest in fitness grew out of her own need to take care of her body. She never planned to teach fitness, but after trying a class that pushed her way out of her comfort zone, something shifted. That moment helped her realize that movement could be powerful, emotional, and healing, not just physical.
She also talks about the challenges of being in a small town, balancing business with family, and learning to trust herself when making big decisions. One of those decisions was buying a house and an old church to turn into a wellness space. She was scared, but she asked for support and went for it anyway.
Throughout the conversation, Bobbi opens up about body image, confidence, and how hard it can be to start something new. But she also shows how worth it is to show up for yourself, even if it’s just an hour at a time!
