VENICE ON THE CREEK
June 2–August 31, 2006:
In Lower Downtown Denver, set sail on an authentic punt ride —similar to an Italian gondola — along the Cherry Creek and learn more about the history of the area. Propelled and steered by a pole operator, the boats hold up to six people (adults and children) and offer both one-way and round-trips during the day and candle-lit trips at night. Venice on the Creek operates the only known punts in the United States, with vessels built and imported from Cambridge, England.
15th ANNUAL LIMON WESTERN FESTIVAL PRAIRIE RIDE AND PARADE
June 9–10, 2006:
Hitch your wagon and journey east to Limon for an Eastern Colorado family Western celebration. Saddle up for an American Quarter Horse trail ride, or recite lyrical lines with poetic cowboys or two-step during musical performances. Enjoy campfire serenades, test your ranching hand at the Limon Heritage Museum and follow the dinner bell to a hearty chuck wagon supper.
6th ANNUAL BOATS, BLUES AND BBQ
June 9–10, 2006:
Head to Pueblo, Colorado's third-largest city, for boat rides, all-day Blues concerts and a nationally sanctioned barbeque competition along the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo, spanning 26-acres of waterfront. Barbeque teams from across the country grill up special recipes for a chance to win cash prizes and the prestigious title of "Colorado's Grand Champion of BBQ" by the Kansas City BBQ Society.
16th ANNUAL AMERICAN RED CROSS FAT TIRE CLASSIC
June 23–25, 2006:
This annual event pedals into Winter Park bringing with it two days of incredible hiking and biking in Colorado.

All proceeds support the local programs and services of the American Red Cross Mile High Chapter.
GUITAR TOWN
July 29–30, 2006:
Acoustical greats gather high atop Copper Mountain for an unforgettable weekend of strings and chords.
