***Updates as of September 3 from Garnett Stewart Your Event Host*** Please rsvp for each desired event. This makes planning easier! Also see the listed files above- go to MORE then FILES…. I will be in GWS Thursday morning to make sure all arrangements are solid. If you need me, call 720 401 2064 or or Ramada Inn. 970-945-2500. I am spending the entire afternoon at Yampah and will have the monthly special, 85 minute massage and vapor caves until I am too relaxed to speak. My recommendation: Ask for Victoria at Yampah if you like deep therapeutic massage and sports injury care on Thursday or Saturday evening from 03:00 til 09:00pm. She’s the best!
