Something for Nothing

by emasson on July 21, 2009

My favorite festival has come and gone. The Telluride “Nothing Festival” was pure magic this year. What started as a “tongue in cheek” event has turned into the quintessential summer weekend in Telluride.

It started with an evening stroll with the kids to the town park. We found softball games in full swing, swings in full swing, bbq’s, 2 volley ball games, horse-shoes, et al. Kids and parents were all running around and there was a low roar of chatter and laughter. It was an all out summer evening in the park. My kids had a ball at the Imagination Station. Then we headed to the Sweet Life for ice cream.

Saturday found us swimming all day and the San Miguel County Fair and Rodeo that night. Many folks from Telluride were there donning their cowboy best. The kids had a blast watching the other kids “Mutton Bustin”; i.e. calf and sheep riding. We ended the night with the carnival style rides.

And the last day of our weekend of nothingness was spent with more swimming, reading the paper at the Steaming Bean, and my little Koto radio show. We had so much family fun this weekend, we forgot to go to the free, that’s right, free movie at the Nugget.

I love doing nothing.
