This Weekend at Grand Lake - July 18, 2024

Good Morning!

Well, I’m kind of playing hookey on you this morning. I’m coming to you from the Durango Coffee Shop in Durango, Colorado.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t have your back on the Grand Lake skinny.

And, if you are a little surprised by this email coming to you this morning, I’m changing the schedule of the emails and you will just be getting these once a week, on Thursdays. Like today!

I’m just going to jump right into things — and here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

Splash Bash - Saturday, it’s a Splash Bash in Ketchum Cove with the Until Now Band playing on the water from 1:00-5:00. Come on!!
