My kids' high school put on Broadway level shows. First, your email confirmation said "the show is at 5 pm and the doors open at 7pm." Yup. Second, you didn't start on time. Third. Who wrote these plays, a 1st grader? I stayed for 4 of them before walking out. They were dull, uncompelling and, why would you put actors on the far left of the stage? It was a slog to look over there from the far right side of the audience seating. Total waste of money and time.

At the Durango Arts Center (DAC) you can enjoy the visual arts, theater, dance, live music, and…read moreeducation programs for children and adults. The building housing DAC, was once home to a car dealership and is right across the street from Steamworks Brewery (for other artisan pursuits). In 1997, the community collaborated to fund and renovate the 17,000-square-foot building, which is now home to a gallery, theater, arts library, studio space, and more. Unfortunately, I missed the Patsy Cline show, and limited my visit to the the downstairs art gallery and gift shop areas. I love finding these regional cooperative art centers, as there are always many interesting pieces, a diverse representation of local artists, reasonable prices, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, and no tourist-related schlock. And outside of the nearby Open Shutter (Contemporary Fine Art Photography), DAC was easily the best place in Durango to go for visual gallery pleasure and the best quality for the artistic dollar. I ended up buying a nice multi-coloured piece of glass that hangs from a handsome and hefty metal pedestal. I bought it for Gayle, but coveted it myself. The DAC staff person wrapped it carefully and successfully for the long journey home. And even though our combined household is cluttered enough, there's always a place in our home for quality art such as this.

If you are on a visit to the Rockies area, this is a great stop to check out and get familiar with all of the different animals and their habituate. When I first went through I was surprised by how well the animals were displayed! What a great way to learn about the animals of the area before your families adventure into the rockies! There is a national park ranger on duty there and to answer questions. This is an ideal place for kids to help them understand the balance of nature and learn. Out front are some of the biggest trout in a small trout pond where the little ones can check out! There is a fish food feed meter that distributes fish food. Bring your quarters, the kids love this, to be able to feed the fish. Even the little kid inside you will love it as well! Right next door is the Durango State Trout Hatchery and Rearing Unit where you can really check out trout! Long rows of different sized and aged trout. What a fun museum! This is a must stop for a family adventure!

Both wines were perfect choices: big but balanced for the Cab Sav and slightly sweet for the Rose. So good. We took home a bottle of each - how could you not with their fabulous pricing? And since it was a Friday, they had live music from a great Celtic band, Tom Ward's Downfall. Such a cute place as well. Friendly folks, lively tunes and fabulous wine. Thanks for a lovely stop.
