The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado, in partnership with the Pagosa Springs Golf Club, is sponsoring four 19th Hole Concerts, which continue this Thursday, June 19.
Last week’s concert had an attendance of 244 people.
The featured artist this week is Bo DePeña with Americana and country, and the organization is Build Pagosa.
Build Pagosa supports job-ready skills taught to high school students through career and technical education programs, and will soon build a regional workforce center to add adult opportunities in the skilled trades, ensuring a labor force that meets workplace demands for the foreseeable future.
It is here to help generations break away from the cycle of low-paying hourly jobs and toward prosperity. Through private-public partnerships, the nonprofit provides financial support and workforce training.
Food, beer and wine will be available for purchase. No outside food, drink or pets will be allowed. Concertgoers should bring a camping chair or blanket — or both — to take full advantage of a summer evening in the Rocky Mountains.
The 19th Hole Concerts are held every Thursday in June from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club.
The cover charge is a $10 donation that supports the four nonprofits selected through the month of June. Corporate sponsors cover event expenses, allowing all proceeds at the end of the series to be pooled and distributed equally to the featured organizations. The collaborative approach to the concerts is vital to their success.
