This very fun party starts with Tony David and Wildefire for toe-tappin’ tunes. The extraordinary Coors Cowboys “Chuckwagon Crew” authentically prepares and serves a western heritage dinner of pit-roasted prime rib. 

The Live Auction, headed by volunteer extraordinaire, Liza Patton, promises exciting packages that include private House Concerts with the songwriters, a Nashville Insiders Trip, an Elite Colorado Golf Experience, other trips and tours, and special “Bucket List” surprises. Plus, we’ll play the popular “Heads or Tails” game with lots of fun prizes! Auctioneer Roger Sierens sets the fast pace. To help you plan, Live Auction packages will be posted here soon.
