As the weather continues to heat up, oneway to cool off is to enjoy a glass or moreof microbewery beer. This spring, theFremont Center for the Arts will host itsfifth annual Brew-Ha-Ha from 2 to 10

p.m. May 15 in Veterans Park at W. U.S. 50 and FirstS t re e t .

Beginning at 2 p.m., the festivities kick off with beertasting until 6 p.m. Numerous microbrewries havesigned up for the event with more expected to sign upprior to the event.

Featuring a comedian and musicians, the day is de-signed for adults.

“This is adult entertainment,” said Jeri Wright, FCAadministrator. “Some of the comedians get a little bit‘a d u l t y. ’ Some people don’t seem to mind. They bringtheir kids down here anyway.”

While taking advantage of the day, there will be foodand brews available all day long.

“Brew-Ha-Ha is a very popular event,” Wright said.“The first year, we had it in front of the arts center. Thatwas my first encounter with the driving rain in Col-o ra d o . ”

Tickets are $20 for beer tasting from 3-6 p.m., whichincludes samples from different microbrews, music anda comedian. For more information, call 275-2790.

Flashback onMain Street

It will be like stepping onto a set of ‘Backto the Future’ when the Fremont Com-munity Foundation presents “Flash-back on Main Street” from 5 to 11 p.m.May 21 in the 500 and 600 blocks of Main

Street, a prelude to the VMCCA Car Show on May22 at the Abbey.

“That’s what we’re trying to do is get a bunch ofcars from out of town,” said committee memberJay Bouton. “We ’re going to have Flash Cadillac”perform from 8-11 p.m. May 21 in downtownCañon City.

Also, “the reason we bring Flash Cadillac is weall love our downtown and wish it would comeback to life,” said Fremont Community Founda-tion member Dan Brown. “We ’re doing our best togive them a boost.”

Other activities include hula hoop and twistcontests and karaoke.

“We ’re going to put the stage up (near) theOwl,” he said. “We ’ll have several downtown mer-chants selling food.”

Downtown merchants, including Pizza Mad-ness, Good Thyme Cafe and Fandies Candies, willprovide food and goodies for participants.

Attendees are invited to wander the streetslooking at vehicles while sipping on beveragesfrom the beer garden and listening to the oldiesfrom Flash Cadillac.

As a Discover Downtown Cañon City MerchantsAssociation project, several stores will stay open,offering special discounts for partygoers.

Those who would like to hang around are en-couraged to bring their own lawn chairs, as well.

Bouton said the first event was a success.The proceeds from the event will go the founda-

tion, who donates to various nonprofits in thea re a .


In the Old West, it was common to see gun-fights, hear cannon fire, dance all night at aVictorian Ball or watch baseball games. TheCañon City Chamber of Commerce will pre-sent the fourth annual Cañon City Western

The Aerial TramGliding more than 1,100 feet above the canyon floor is the world’s longest single-span Aerial Tram. The ride offers exceptional 360-degree views of the Gorge, the Bridge, the Park and the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Between the blue skies above and the granite walls below, you’ll feel as if you’re walking a tightrope across the very Gorge itself. With no net.

Royal Rush SkycoasterThe Royal Rush Skycoaster is the most awesome adrenaline rush in the state of Colorado. Imagine a free-fall tower sweeping you 50 mph to hang momentarily over 1,200 feet above the Arkansas River.

Incline RailwayTraveling at a 45-degree

angle, it’s the world’s steepest Incline Railway.

Timeless granite walls loom all around as you descend

over 1,500 feet to thecanyon floor.

Awe doesn’t begin to describe what you’ll feel driving or walking across the Bridge. Or what you’ll experience in the expanded Royal Gorge Park, with exciting new rides, one-of-a-kind

attractions and more than 360 acres of scenery, history, fun and excitement. It’s a unique combination of natural adrenaline and human achievement…a spectacle of scenic beauty and engineering ingenuity that

must be seen to be believed.
