Blue River Watershed Group fundraiser a huge success

The Blue River Watershed Group held its annual fundraiser on Aug. 18 at the Tiki Bar at the Dillon Marina. The event was titled the “Headwater Hops Fest” and the theme was “Mountain Water — Better Beer.” The fundraiser was a great success and would not have been possible without the support of Travis Holton of Pug Ryan’s. A big thank you needs to go to all of the people, volunteers, sponsors and all of the supporters who attended the event. The program was sponsored by the four breweries from Summit County: Back Country Brewery, Breckenridge Brewery, Dillon Dam Brewery and Pug Ryan’s Brewery. The facilities were made available by Travis Holton of the Tiki Bar, Bob Evans of the Dillon Marina and Paul Kresge of the Dillon Yacht Club. Annie and Travis Holton made sure that the program ran smoothly at the Tiki Bar, and Jim Shaw was responsible for the wonderful evening of entertainment provided by the Nancy Cook Band. A special thanks goes out to the following contributors to our silent auction: Ambika Healing Therapies, Staks T-Shirts/Toni Kiehm, SOS, Copper Mountain Resort, Vail Resorts Echo, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Frisco Wine Merchant, Ten Mile Kayaks, Peak Provisions, Dillon Marina, The Barnyard, Red Buffalo Coffee and Tea, Dillon Ridge Liquors, Cutthroat Anglers, Wolf Rock Steakhouse, Silverthorne Recreation Center, Inxpot, Old Chicago, Coldwater Creek, Red Mountain Grill, Dillon Starbucks, Pearl Izumi, Pizza on the Run, Blue Moon Bakery, Abbey’s Coffee, and Rosanne Shaw.
