Archuleta Seniors Inc. would like to thank the community for their support of our 1st annual Dia de los Muertos Dance Party that was held this past Friday, November 3 at the CSU Extension Building.
The intergenerational family friendly event featured a beautifully handmade community ofrenda loaded with pictures of departed loved ones, music and Spanish tunes from DJ Marcus Rivas, a cookie contest, a costume contest, and handmade posole by the beloved Guadalupanas and Ablaze Catholic youth group…
…with all net proceeds raised to support Archuleta Seniors Inc. and the older adults and families of Archuleta County.
We would also like to thank our many sponsors, Ruby M Sisson library, countless volunteers and community members who came together for this first annual cultural event.
And if one holiday event was not enough, your friends at Archuleta Seniors Inc brought you the 2nd annual Holiday Market in partnership with Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association with over 30 small businesses that were featured this past Saturday at 230 Port Ave. We had a great turnout of community support for the vendors. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped us bring the event together this year.
Keeping with the holiday spirit we are still on the lookout for a few volunteers to help with our Festival of Trees decorating, please give us a call 970-264-2167 if you have any questions.
