The summer is just flying by. Still lots of swimming, fishing, eating, running, hiking, biking, etc. Also, there are just so many things to do. Last night we went to the summer sunset concert series in the Mountain Village and the place was packed. The young and the not so young had a ball hula hooping and dancing and just twirling about; not to mention rolling down the hillside. There were lots of picnics and people chatting. Just another free party in Telluride.
On a sad note, Telluride loses a longtime local, Captain Jack. Everybody knew him and he will be missed. Jack could be seen skiing just about everyday of the ski season (perhaps even every day). He always had a smile and a hello for you. He was an avid outdoors-man and local icon. He embodied the Telluride Spirit. There will be a celebration of his life this Saturday from 1-3 p.m. in the Telluride Town Park. I am sure the place will be overflowing with people and their love of a man who touched the hearts of many.
Coming up is the Ahaa Art Auction on Friday July 24 starting with the Silent Auction at 5 pm and the live auction starting 7pm. The theme this year is “Be the Artist You Want to Be”. This is a great opportunity to pick up a Masterpiece. The Ahaa school is located at the Depot in Telluride.
