Concert series membership drive begins

CRAIG — The Craig Concert Association today announced the six artists selected for the 2008-2009 concert season.
Headlining the top professional roster of artists is the Synergy Brass Quintet, one of New England’s finest brass groups. They have toured all across the U.S., as well as London, Munich, Moscow, Vienna and Tokyo.
For Valentine’s Day 2009, treat your family to Robert Post, a brilliant comedian who combines dry humor with mime, juggling and unforgettable characters. He is an entire theater company himself.
The other exciting entertainers include the Frank Vignola Quintet, the three tenors of Romanza, Neal Hagberg’s Small Town Stories and the annual local talent show.
Association chair Faye McKune stated, “We are very proud of the caliber of talent we can bring to our area, and still keep season ticket prices at such a reasonable level. The continued support of our membership and sponsors allows us to offer these six performances for only $5 each! People would pay at least twice as much for performances by the same professional artists in a large metropolitan area — not to mention expenses saved on travel, lodging , meals and parking!”
Membership to the concert association is open to the public. Season memberships are offered at the reasonable prices of $30 for adults and $10 for students. Family, donor and patron memberships are available also.
Directors of the association point out that season membership is what guarantees the top quality entertainment each year. You can participate in the exciting upcoming season by contacting Julie Dempster at 824-5251 and adding your name to the list of those who wish to purchase memberships during the drive.
For more information, contact Julie Dempster at 824-5251 or [email protected]

  • The Cowboys played in their first golf tournament in the spring at Chipeta, “it was a bit of a cloudy and windy day but it was awesome to see some grass and a golf course,” commented head coach Amanda Back. Vivian Brown, pictured on the left, broke 100 and shot a 94 and Jayda May second from right shot a 99. From the far right, excluding those that have been mentioned, Averee Woodward, Joelle Soler, Mia Pinzon, Aurora Stalling, and Kailynn Watson all played scramble. This was Pinzon’s, Stalling’s and Watson’s first tournament as Meeker High School girl golfers. “It’s going to be a great season,” ended Back.

  • Members of the Rio Blanco Golf Association got a jump on spring this past week as volunteers shoveled and blew the snow off the greens. The winter’s snow and ice layers suffocate the fragile bent grass putting surfaces and getting the snow off allows Mother Nature to start her healing process earlier.
“For 50 years I’ve waited to see Meeker’s greens come out this nice,” said Jim Cook, who is returning to help at the course.” Hats off to Hunter and Matt Fellows who did an excellent job applying the snow mold preventative last fall which has made all the difference this year.”
Board members and volunteers are very hopeful that this will be a turnaround year for the local 9-hole course which plans an early April opening, weather permitting.
  • The 2024 Colorado State Champions hosted their annual awards banquet Sunday. Head Coach JC Watt and Assistant Coach Carl Padilla commented on this year’s team’s success as a product of work in the room, dedication by wrestlers and coaches, and a champion mentality.
