It starts at 7 PM at the Coors Events Center on the CU campus. This cultural celebration offers music, dance, food, singers and much more. A student talent show was new in 1999 with acts related to the Latino culture including dances and storytelling. A salsa contest offered both restaurants and individuals a chance at prizes. There is no admission charge.
Some conveyances barely make it more than a few yards from shore before sinking.
Especially in the early minutes of the race, rescue craft are busy towing the wrecks back to shore. The race consists of a water leg, an overland stretch and a return across the water. The swiftest contestants finish in 45 minutes, and the lumbering laggards end four hours later. A fall sale is held in November. This is one of three annual antique shows hosted by the St. Vrain Historical Society and held in the exhibit hall at the fairgrounds.
