Friday

Poinsettias at a local nursery are a vivid reminder that the holiday season is upon us.

We had lunch at Arborena in Mancos today ... delightful little personal pizzas with delicious seasonings! While there, we chatted with Rena about the Christmas events coming up soon, decided to keep Artisans open till 7 tonight to be in solidarity with a couple of evening events on Grand Avenue this evening, lined up a Santa Claus for a couple of holiday gigs and just had a relaxing time. Doing business Mancos style!

I also did a little census of artists whose work is for sale in the downtown area ... there's at least 50! Plus another half-dozen or so with works in other places in the town of Mancos. That's pretty good for a little cowtown between the mountains and Mesa Verde! tv
