For more than a decade, boots have been scooting, neighbors have been laughing and the community has been coming together for a cause at the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs’ Jewels & Jeans Barn Dance.
Now in its 11th year, this beloved Pagosa Springs tradition returns Saturday, Oct. 24, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Archuleta County Fairgrounds Extension Building. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Frank Wiley has once again stepped up to lead our club’s participation in the 4th Annual Free Community Pancake Breakfast, presented in collaboration with Vets4Vets of Archuleta County. This is in conjunction with the “Young Eagles Fly-In” at Stevens Field Airport, 777 County Road 600.

JoAnn Laird has ordered this year’s dictionaries for the Rotary Club of Pagosa Springs’ Third-Grade Dictionary Project.
Each November, the club presents every third-grade student in Archuleta County schools with a dictionary of their own. In addition to definitions, the books include maps, information about U.S. presidents, mathematical conversion tables and other learning tools designed to spark curiosity and discovery.
Give a group of Rotarians a pile of discarded materials, a sewing machine and a good cause, and apparently there is no telling what might emerge.
