With the support of generous sponsors and the enthusiastic Pagosa Springs community, the 9th Annual Jewels and Jeans Barn Dance was deemed a success. Guests were treated to an unforgettable evening filled with fun, music, and camaraderie, all in support of the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs’ mission to make a positive impact.

 

 

The Jackson Mountain Ramblers set the tone for the night, getting everyone onto the dance floor with their toe-tapping mix of country favorites. From line dancing to two-stepping, the venue was alive with energy as friends and neighbors came together to celebrate.

The silent auction was another highlight, adding a sense of excitement to the evening as guests bid on an array of fabulous items, experiences, and dining certificates. Whether it was the chance to secure a one-of-a-kind adventure or a cozy dinner out, there was something for everyone.

No one left hungry after the delicious dinner of tender tri tip steak, accompanied by savory baked beans, fresh green salad, and rolls. The meal was perfectly capped off with a tempting rich chocolate brownies and zesty lemon cakes for dessert.

As the evening continued, Buckaroo Rides provided a touch of romance and charm with their beautiful horse-drawn carriage rides. The rides continued well into the evening, adding a magical touch to the event.

A huge thanks goes out to all of our generous sponsors, and to the many community members who came out to support the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs. Your participation helps us provide college and vocational scholarships to our graduating seniors, and enables us to continue our service projects that benefit the entire community. We couldn’t do it without you.
