Rotary’s Jewels and Jeans Barn Dance set for Oct. 12

Posted

It’s a barn dance: The Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs will host the ninth annual Jewels and Jeans Barn Dance on Oct. 12 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Archuleta County Extension building. 

The Jackson Mountain Ramblers will play toe-tappin’, boot-scootin’ dance music — irresistible for two-stepping, line dancing, honey-hugging waltzes and your favorite swing moves. 

The evening is full of activities, including a cash saloon with local brews and a full bar, a contest for sexiest cowboy and cowgirl, and wagon rides. Local retailers and restaurants have donated items that will be available in a silent auction. 

This year, a special online auction offers incredible experiential items like a Sleep ‘n’ Soak, an Ultimate Top Gun Flight Experience, Sporting Clay lessons, a Sip the Magic of Tuscany package, and more. Visit https://app.galabid.com/pagosabarndance/items to browse and bid on these exclusive online offerings.

The Rotary Club invests profits from the barn dance throughout the community. It awards scholarships to local students, gives dictionaries to our third-graders, sends our youth leaders to leadership camps, awards mini-grants for teachers and so much more. 

Rotary invites you to support these community projects and have a fun-filled evening with friends and neighbors at the barn dance. 

Tickets are $30 per person in advance and $35 at the door. A chuckwagon dinner is available for those who have purchased a food ticket for $15. Tickets may be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce and from Exit Realty Home and Ranch, or from members of the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs. 

The barn dance always sells out, so buy yours soon.
