It's shaping up to be a busy, exciting weekend in Gunnison!
Starting Friday night, head over to the Gunnison Arts Center Patio for some free "Fridays at 5" live music. Grab some dinner at one of Gunnison's great restaurants and mosey on down to the Gunnison County Rodeo Grounds (south of Safeway) on South Spruce Street and catch the Cattlmen's Days PRCA Rodeo! It's Pa
triot Night so wear your red-white-and blue! After the rodeo, kick up your heels at the Annual Dance at the Elks Lodge, located on South Main Street. If you're not exhausted, try out one of the thrilling amusement rides at the Cattlemen's Days Carnival, located just west of the rodeo grounds.
Saturday morning, start out the morning with a hearty pancake breakfast. The Gunnison Kiwanis Club will be serving up a fundraiser flapjack and sausage breakfast at the IOOF Park in downtown Gunnison prior to the parade. Work off the pancakes by joioning in the Main Street Mile running race. The race starts at 9:30am at Meadows Park and runners will sprint south down Main Street to the intersection of Tomichi and Main. This all heralds the start of the 111th Annual Cattlemen's Days Parade! Be sure and wave to the Rodeo Queen and her Court. After the parade, visit one of the great retail stores - selling unique and reasonable goods - in Gunnison and then pick up some wonderful fresh produce, crafts, and baked goods at the Gunnison Farmers' Market nexs to the IOOF Park. Then head to the Gunnison Arts Center for lunch and the showing of the documentary "The Challenge of Champions". After lunch, the 4-H Junior Livestock Auction gets underway at the Rodeo Grounds. If you missed the Friday night rodeo, you can catch the Family Night Rodeo at 7pm at the rodeo grounds. Then dancing continues after the rodeo at the Elks Club.
Sunday morning, after a hearty and satisfying breakfast at one of the yummy restaurants in town, you can attend one of Gunnison's many churches or attend the Cowboy Church at 9am at the Rodeo Grounds. The final rodeo events, the horse race meet and the bucking bull futurity, take place at 12:30pm at
the rodeo grounds.
Of course - if you aren't into rodeoing - use Gunnison as your "Base Camp to the Rocky Mountains". You can revel in the great outdoors and fish, hike, boat/water ski, sail, skate, mountain bike, road bike, kayak, raft, run, walk, or just lay back and enjoy the spectacular wildflowers! Close out your weekend with "Sundays at 6" - a free live music concert at Legion Park. Take a picnic dinner, recline on the grass, visit with your friends and family, and enjoy the music.
Wow - what a Glorious Gunnison weekend!
