Our 20th celebration was a bit nuts!

The Lions Club, one of Leadville’s most active charities, preparing for battle. They ended up cooking and serving 425 free hot dogs in 1.5 hours:20th_lions

Purple and green balloons were distributed to all the other downtown retailers that joined us in the sidewalk sale:20th_balloons

We rolled the sale racks out onto our sidewalk at 11AM. Mayhem ensued:20th_sidewalk

The line for the register was out the door, down the sidewalk, and past the Golden Burro! (sorry Dave):20th_register

Our Melanzana history display was set up next door, along with tables for a few local non-profits, “Local Honey” with live tunes, and of course the Vintage Melly Contest. Vintage Melly winner to be announced here on the blog later this week.20th_history

Jenny, Barb, Willie, Christina, Tash and Liz were still cranking on the sewing machines despite the mayhem up front:20th_sewing

Happy that its all over:20th_fritz
