Save the Date
Sunday, August 9th from 5 to 8pm
for the Mt. Sopris Historical Society's
2nd Annual Shindig
This years event will be held at the Old Thompson Barn
at River Valley Ranch (RVR)
Tickets $75
The RVR Barn will be furnished with historic agricultural and ranching artifacts from the Hattie Thompson and Thompson House Museum collection, plus archival photos of historic Carbondale. Hattie Thompson herself will be there — in spirit. This historic matriarch, as interpreted by a local living-history actress, will be milling amongst the period-costumed guests as they enjoy homemade barbecue and music provided by local talent. The second annual Hattie Thompson Award will be given to a woman who exemplifies Hattie’s pioneering spirit and has enriched the community.
The Shindig will be an event of the sort area residents would have enjoyed during Hattie Thompson’s heyday more than 100 years ago. Get your old-time get-up on and don't miss this delightful journey into Carbondale's not-so-distant past. The evening supports the Historical Society’s efforts to share local history and bring to life the stories of the families, ranchers, merchants and miners who built our Roaring Fork and Crystal Valley communities.
