Keystone
Keystone River Run Village Blues and BBQ Festival
By The Walsh Group

At the base of Dercum Mountain in Keystone, Colorado, the Annual River Run Blues and BBQ Festival is one terrific reason to look to Keystone CO real estate for your Summit County, Colorado vacation property.  Choose vacation real estate in Keystone’s River Run neighborhood and your family and friends will readily enjoy lively festivals, restaurants, clubs, ski services, and shops as well as three splendid mountains of fabulous skiing, and Keystone biking and hiking trails.  A Keystone vacation home in one of the eight River Run Condominium complexes will put you right near the action for the River Run Blues and BBQ Festival and many other fun-filled family festivals and activities. 

Ask about Keystone real estate in The Red Hawk Townhomes and Red Hawk Lodge, The Springs, Arapahoe Lodge, Black Bear Lodge, Jack Pine Lodge, Dakota Lodge, Silvermill, Expedition Station, and Buffalo Lodge.  Maybe a condominium at the Lone Eagle, Riverbank Lodge or Timbers Condominiums would be the best fit for your family’s needs.

The Blues and BBQ Festival promises to spice up your palette during an afternoon of authentic BBQ set to soul-soothing blues music.  The resort’s premier chefs and restaurants grill savory morsels to go with the lip-smacking brews on tap.  Ending the ski season in style, the River Run Blues and BBQ Festival helps warm up the community with spring pleasures. 

For the 2008 Blues and BBQ Festival, Saturday afternoon features The Blue Explosion in Concert and Hazel Miller, programming suited for all ages.  Drawing residents and visitors from near and far, a variety of street entertainment, outside bars, outside food vendors, and kids activities are in the works.  Add a bit of spring sunset skiing and riding and you will be glad you chose a vacation home here.

The event comes in time to ward off the blues that may accompany the end of the ski season.  Sponsored by Coors Light, SoBe Adrenaline Rush, Krystal 93, RSN, the Resort, and the Neighbourhood Company, the event gets better each year.  It kicks off a wonderful time of the year in the resort called mud season.  Your family and friends will find great deals like 2-for-1 entrees at the award-winning Ski Tip Lodge. 

River Run is at the heart of the resort ski area, accessible to all three of the mountains.  Think about meeting other followers of extraordinary blues music at the resort while boarding the River Run Gondola and Summit Express Chairlift with your skis or in the White River National Forest along the hiking and mountain-bike trails in the summer when the resort hosts the warm-weather Blues Festival and Art Show in July.  A quick journey along Highway 6 will take you to superb golf courses at The River Course and Keystone Ranch.
