Here's Looking at You From Vail~~

The conference speakers and business networking have been great this week. It all culminated in a really fun social event last night held at the 4Eagle Ranch outside Wolcott, CO. We were bussed in style to the ranch and spent the next 4 hours having a ball! This little beauty was part of the farmyard...a goat family, a couple of pigs, some chickens, and a large corral full of horses. A lone bison greeted visitors brave enough to hand feed him corncobs. 4Eagle is a 1000-acre working cattle ranch; some day-ride outfitters also base there. The couple who run it host private parties, weddings, and groups like ours as well as being open to the public. The ranch contains the original 1850's homestead cabins, a newer ranch house, several big covered porches on barns set up for eating, drinking and dancing. There was a horseshoe pit, a quick draw shooting gallery, and buckboard rides around the homestead. We played, we ate and drank, and as evening fell, we danced and partied!

And what's a Western party without a camp fire complete with pointy stick and marshmallows to roast?
