They range from humble to haute and include exciting events, festivals and performances as well as dining, shopping and playing at various treasured spots, shops and institutions.

This week we're looking forward to...

If you're looking for wings, you can head on over to the Tap Room, where they've got an amazing $5 All You Can Eat Wings special, or Rick & Kelly's, where they've got $5 wings AND $10 Buckets of Beer!

SEE

2) On Saturday, October 24, come to the Vilar Center for a very special performance by Vienna Teng & Alex Wong. On their own, this singer/pianist and percussionist have garnered some glowing reviews and impressive appearances, and earlier this year they joined forces and recorded Inland Territory, which has been called "a brilliant, introspective diary of an album." Now making the rounds on a U.S. tour, this duo is bringing their beautiful and unique fusion of pop, classical, jazz, and folk to Vail! The performance is at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $25.
