Wine Festival at the Broadmoor

Nana and Papa got to spend a delightful weekend at the Broadmoor to attend the annual Wine Festival that supports the Colorado Springs Conservatory where Antonio attends for music and theater training. Everything you see below is at the Broadmoor. All the photos are here.

La Tavern

This 1880, 38-star, parade flag was flown at a
reception for President Grant.
I saw it at The Great Republic,
an antique shop at the Broadmoor Resort.

Round One: Central Coast Wines!

Brian Talley was amongst the Central Coast vintners!

Antonio was part of the Conservatory's musical
entertainment at the Gala/Dinner.

Antonio is up there in his pink jacket (left pillar).

Old Colorado City

On a whim, Nana and Papa took a stroll around Old Colorado City. It was almost 60 degrees!

Who knew there was a flag shop?!

Pikes Peak in the distance

Pueblo is known as the Steel City.

La Baguette. We had a latte and a pastry!

Boy and Everyone Partied Hearty Till 3:30AM

It was quite the event (I hear, I was asleep). Lasted till 3:30 in the morning. Matteo was the last to leave strike at about midnight. Most everyone else was here by 11pm or so. Good thing there was plenty of food - they were hungry!

We turned on the stars for the Starcatchers...

Peter and the Starcatcher

The show closed this evening. Antonio played Boy (Peter) in one arrangement of the cast and had an ensemble role in the other. Matteo did Follow Spot for all shows. This was a production of the DCC High School Theatre Department.
