19th Hole Concerts Begin This Thursday

The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado, in partnership with the Pagosa Springs Golf Club, is sponsoring the first of four 19th Hole Concerts starting this Thursday, June 5. The featured artist this week is Bob Hemiger, and the featured nonprofit is Archuleta Seniors Inc.

Archuleta Seniors Inc. (ASI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering an age-friendly and inclusive community while advancing community resilience. They support a range of programs and services that promote healthy, independent living for older adults. From serving hot meals at the Pagosa Senior Center and delivering meals to homes, to offering enrichment classes, social engagement opportunities, caregiving support, and free medical monitoring systems, ASI empowers residents to thrive as they age.

Food from Square Top BBQ, beer, wine will be available for purchase. No outside food, drink or pets will be allowed. Concertgoers should bring a camping chair or blanket — or both — to take full advantage of a summer evening in the Rocky Mountains.

The 19th Hole Concerts are held every Thursday in June from 5:30-7:30pm, at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The cover charge is a $10 donation which supports the four nonprofits selected through the month of June. Corporate sponsors cover event expenses, allowing all proceeds at the end of the series to be pooled and distributed equally to the featured organizations. The collaborative approach to the concerts is vital to their success.

We want to thank our sponsors, along with the Pagosa Springs Golf Club, Square Top BB, Bank of Colorado, Inter-Mountain Propane, the Pagosa Springs Sun, and Jan C. Pitcher Real Estate.
