Lyons is a special place. A lot of the people there are blue collar musicians. Rocky Grass is a very special family friendly festival. When we were there several years ago, my husband went tubing in the river and discovered that several hundred dollars had floated out of his wallet. All but $20 was recovered and returned to him by local teenagers. I call them blue collar because they work very hard for the little money they make and they do this because they love the music (largely blue grass and American old timey). They could have long ago become some sort of tourist trap being on the road from Denver to Estes but have not done so.
Well, it looks like that is all going to change now.
