BMW: Top of the Rockies Rally (Paonia, CO) and Colorado Mountain Fair in Carbondale



July 26-27, 2008 was time spent by over 800 bikers in Paonia, Colorado at the BMW Bikers' Rally. Skeeter Kopacekv came from Minnesota and is shown beside his bike (in black). And Shag is standing by his blow-up alien protecting his Beemer (it's a long story, and he has the video to prove it).

Colorado Beemers were hosted by residents of this small Colorado mountain town. Friendly Paonia residents provided attendees
Breakfast on Saturday, a great Dinner on Saturday night...along with First Rate Music on stage on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.
Then a fast and beautiful trip over McClure Pass to Carbondale, CO for the annual Colorado Mountain Fair was the second stop on the weekend. Beautiful handmade things there, and I talked to a woman I was acquainted with through her Etsy shop.

Two friends were displaying their glass dichroic art at this juried fair, and I came away with a beautiful necklace from Holly Sokol. Her Sokol Kiln Fired Glass site is well worth checking out.
At the Colorado Mountain Fair, the Police got in the spirit by performing their security duties dressed in tie-dyed shirts and caps.

Everyone had a grand time. If you did not participate, you might want to plan for it next year.
