~FIBArk ~ THURSDAY 6/13/17 ~ Join The Victoria Tavern for the annual FIBark kickoff party! Two Faces West will be kicking things off Thursday night June 15th after the main stage music ends! Two Faces West is a crankin’ electric blues band that was founded in the small, beautiful mountain town of Gunnison, Colorado. They established a tight power trio over their years at Western State Colorado University, with a goal of sharing their unique rockin’ mountain sound with the world. In the Fall of 2015, the trio relocated to the mile high city, where they have burst into the Denver music scene. Within a year of their move to the front range, they have performed at several major festivals including the Gentleman of the Road Stopover Festival in Salida, The Greeley Blues Jam, the Denver Underground Music Showcase, Kansas’ annual Tumbleweed Festival, and have become one of Denver’s premier live bands! Their music is described as a fiery blend of rock & blues, which focuses on the roots of blues while expressing its core in pure rock’n’roll, and topping it off with a touch of funk. Community 2017

USA Pro Cycling Challenge Leaving Salida

August 25, 2011

Yesterday, the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, began in Salida. The world’s top male cyclists rode to Crested Butte Peak in a scant 4 hours, 29 minutes, and change. A first time event, as well as, a first for Salida in terms of an event of this magnitude, and I didn’t know quite what to expect. How many people would there be? Would they – riders, crew, fans, etc.- treat the town with respect? How would they treat me? Would they tip well? How many of them would there be? Would I be able to get to work? What would the vibe be like? How excited would people be? How would we show our spirit? The answers to all these questions and more? The vibe was great. People from all walks of life were excited to be there. Crews, from volunteer to event staff, were professional and efficient. Law enforcement was present and unimposing. Mountain bikes, fixies, cruisers, and penny farthings were all present. Local musicians plucked and played together. Community, civic participation, spontaneous human and human-powered-machine  interaction were all there. Added bonus? The bar provided a fantastic vantage point, as evidenced by the slide show above.
