BurroFest Fun and Canyons of the Ancients update!

Any folks who are planning to join us here at Starry Nights Ranch B&B this weekend are in for a special treat.  It’s time for Mancos’ 4^th annual BurroFest on Saturday, June 17^th from 10am to 3pm.  The burros are dressed in costume for which there will be a competition, plus an obstacle course which is always hilarious – trying to get a burro to go where you want instead of where he wants is a lesson in patience (and hilarity).  Artists who choose may be paired with a burro as a model to create special artwork.  The event will be held in downtown Mancos and will have music, beer, food, kid’s activities and lots of burro fun.

Update on Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum: The museum and visitor center hours are currently intermittent during floor renovations until July 17^th.  They suggest calling ahead if you are interested in visiting before it is fully open.  Dominguez Pueblo and the half-mile trail to Escalante Pueblo, however, remain open during this time.

*Reminder:  Remember to go online to RECREATION.gov two weeks in advance of your trip to reserve a ranger-led tour for your visit to Mesa Verde National Park.
