PLAY

1) Town Park is THE end of summer hang out spot, so join us this weekend for Telluride's one and only Flag Football Tournament! Teams from all around the region will come to play non-contact football in a feisty tournament where the Telluride men's team have a competitive chance at the title, and Telluride's first ever women's team will show us what they got. Cheer squads and coolers full of beer are very welcome. Reminisce about some great sports seasons gone by in Town Park with these videos:

To reserve space call (970)-728-8100, otherwise come and shop 'til you drop for a great cause!

SPLURGE

5) It's getting colder, and it's time to stock up on some new sweaters! Head to Cashmere Red on Main Street in T-Ride for a huge selection of beautiful cashmere sweaters, scarves, and shirts. Cashmere Red offers some of the finest cashmere in town. All Cashmere Red's fiber is imported from Scotland, bringing the very best to Telluride!
