2010 Ridgway Rendezvous

The Ridgway Rendezvous Arts and Crafts Festival is in its 26th year, and this was our 8th year in attendance. It has always been fun and we've watched it grow considerably in those years.

So here we go, pretty nice setting for a festival!!!!!!

Held at Ridgway, Colorado,in the town park. Ridgway is a small mountain town, turned hot for tourists. They boast old restored buildings (like the old firehouse) and the True Grit Restaurant named after the John Wayne movie of the same name. The restaurant was frequented by the cast and crew (including JW) during the filming of the movie (yes, it was filmed in the area around Ridgway).


There was live music, with groups changing about every hour. If you were patient their was eventually a group that played "your kind of music".


There were beautiful flowers everywhere (and not all of them were arts and/or crafts).


There was entertainment for the children.


Enough food vendors to satisfy almost every taste (even Thai and crepes) and.......


....comfortable places with good views where you could sit down and enjoy it.


A good time was had by all. Okay, so I didn't take a poll........but a good time was had by Sharon and I........everyone else can fend for themselves.
