Going by what Dick Greenhaus said, there are a ton of festivals throughout Colorado: This year's Listings, but, again, I would avoid the eastern slope like the plague! A lot of these are not neccessarily oging to be like the Getaway, though, as they are more commericial, open to the general public for entertainment, and fairly expensive and nt all have on-site accomodations. Keep in mind, too, that mid-summer can be very hot, esp. in Grd. Jct. and Vernal.

How many folks are we talking? I have a backyard that goes back 150 feet by 80 feet. It'd have to be cleaned up beforehand, but several tents could be pitched, but we only have one bathroom and kitchen. There is a nice RV park just across the highway from us: RVRanch. There are several other places on the Western Slope which might be suitable. I'll do some more checking if you all want. Can also check with Chamber of Commerces, etc. The Paonia area would be neat, as well as Gunnison, etc. though probably more expensive.

Also know a lot about Vernal. That's where we used to go visit my dad. Remember it is NOT close to anything, really, other than another small town, Roosevelt, and the dinosaurs, etc.

Will post more, later.
