By Terri House/Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs

Get able to kick up your heels for trigger. The Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs is celebrating a decade of dancing, eating and doing good with its tenth annual Jewels and Jeans Barn Dance on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 7 to 10 p.m. on the Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association Clubhouse, 230 Port Ave. The doorways will open at 6:30 p.m.

This beloved neighborhood custom guarantees a night crammed with nation allure and vigorous enjoyable. Headlining the night time is Vanishing Breed, that includes Colorado Country Music Hall of Famer and longtime space favourite Odis Sikes.

Beyond the music, visitors can browse an thrilling silent public sale filled with one-of-a-kind prizes and experiences — from 4 rounds of golf with a cart at a South Fork golf membership and a half-day guided fly-fishing journey to a Yeti cooler full of equipment, ski passes for 2, an opulent Ouray getaway with high quality eating, and even a horse-drawn wagon journey paired with a two-night keep at a comfortable native mattress and breakfast. Add in restaurant present playing cards and native treasures, and there’s one thing for everybody to bid on.

Hungry dancers received’t be upset — one in all Pagosa’s favourite meals vans will serve hearty plates of house-smoked brisket and rooster thighs with inexperienced chile mac and cheese, coleslaw and dinner rolls for $20 per plate (offered individually from dance tickets).

The enjoyable continues with contests for “Best Dressed” and “Best Dancer,” plus a money bar that includes a signature cocktail debut: The Barnstormer. This daring but refreshing mixture of Canadian whiskey, peppermint schnapps, darkish and white crème de cacao, and a splash of lemon juice is shaken over ice — the right toast to a memorable night time.

“This event has everything — great food, great music and great people — all coming together to support a cause that benefits the whole community,” mentioned membership president Jenelle Syverson.

Proceeds from the Jewels and Jeans Barn Dance assist Rotary’s native service initiatives, together with scholarships for graduating seniors, youth packages and neighborhood grants.

“Whether you’re here for the music, the auction, or just to spend time with friends, you’ll leave knowing you’ve been part of something bigger than yourself,” added Rotarian Cindi Galabota.

Tickets are $35 upfront and $40 on the door. Secure your spot now at PagosaSpringsRotary.org, Exit Realty, Wednesday Bouquet or the Chamber of Commerce. Don’t wait; purchase your tickets as we speak.
