Girls Night Out:
THE Girl Event of the Season!

5:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, August 23
at the incomparably beautiful LePlatt’s Pond on the Pine River in Bayfield

This year’s theme: Rhinestone Cowgirls & Diamond Divas: It’s a Bling Thing!

Dig out your rhinestones, your cowboy hats and/or your Diva outfits to join us for the fourth-annual Girls Night Out at a new venue this year: LePlatt’s Pond on the Pine River just north of the U.S. Highway 160/County Road 501 intersection in Bayfield.

With the help of presenting sponsor Durango Party Rental, we’re setting up the giant party tents that you’ve come to expect at Girls Night Out along the banks of the Pine River adjacent to LePlatt’s Pond, a Bayfield landmark and party location for generations.

We’ll have more information available later in spring, but do set aside Friday, Aug. 23. You won’t want to miss THE Girl Event of the Year!

    The Animas Surgical Hospital Durango Double attracted more than 400 runners who participated in four different races on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6-7, and the Women’s Resource Center benefited from all those runners with a $10,000 doantion from Animas Surgical Hospital.

    Runners came as far away as Florida to participate in the 25-K and 50-K Trail Run on Saturday, and in the Half- and Full-Marathon on Sunday. Of those 400 entrants, 73 actually ran both races!
