We had an evening out in quiet little Mancos last night. Went to the historic Mancos Opera House for the "Spaghetti Western and Burlesque Night," a fund-raiser for Mancos Valley Cares to pay off legal bills from the suit against the county commissioners that was dropped because they didn't want to also have to sue the neighbor owning the land where the gravel pit and asphalt plant were going to be located.
Anyway, as you can see from the picture from the balcony, there was a good turnout ... the joint was jumping! The duo "Roscoe" opened, and then the Bare Bones group from Durango took the stage ... "Fiddler on the Roof" type music with fiddle, accordion and guitar and flute, crazy garb, a torch singer (shown) and stripper/dancers (not shown) of both genders. (None of the county commissioners were in evidence ... not their kind of tea party, I guess!)
As you can see from the top picture after the show, performers and audience all got into the western saloon theme of things. Aided by a well-stocked bar at the back of the room.
Mancos Valley Cares is now turning into an organization that will try to bring Mancos Valley folks together to jointly plan for our foreseeable future, which I look forward to participating in.
And, very soon ... within a couple of hours ... we load up suitcases and dog and head for Oklahoma. Tune in later for the marvelous adventures of FeVa Fotos ... sharing the joy! tv
