of Vail. Towering pines and quaking
aspens abound. Babbling Gore Creek

U.S. Highway 6 through the Eagle Valley in 1940,
which eventually became Interstate 70. Pete Seibert
and Earl Eaton were the masterminds behind the ski
area. (source Wikipedia) The area is rich in history and
celebrity sightings.

buying and yes, even banking. Learn five ways your bank can begin to change
its culture to evolve, communicate and deploy a successful Amazon-like
experience.

Entertainment
annie Garrett created and stars
as Patsy DeCline (not to be
confused with a woman with a name very
similar to hers) in a tongue-in-cheek spoof
of country music. Through monologues,
parody songs and country musics’ all-time
favorite chart toppers, Patsy pays tribute
to all the big-haired country music queens
who came before her. She spurs the
crowd to laughter with hysterical tales of
her many husbands, her endless hit albums and her wild adventures on the road.
The Patsy DeCline Show is a glorious comedy romp, respondent with glittering
costumes, sparkles, spangles and a wig as big as tumble-weed.
Garrett, as Patsy, is backed by her incredible, 5-piece pedal-steel driven kick-butt
country band. Patsy and the band will delight you as they rip and roar their way
through classics by Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Ernest Tubb,
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and many more.
Patsy always gets the audience rolling in the aisles with her irreverent take on all
country fans hold sacred. Grown men have been known to cry with laughter
when Patsy pokes fun at subjects ranging from plastic surgery, love and
marriage, to re-hab and Elvis Presley. Filled with Patsy’s hysterical antics,
parody songs and audience participation, this is the perfect show to lighten the
mood and have fun!

Golf ive, Play, Relax, Enjoy.
EagleVail Golf Club is nestled
only five minutes from each of
world class, internationally
known Vail and Beaver Creek
resorts. EagleVail offers 18
holes of pristine challenging golf for people of all ages. In early 2015, EagleVail
won national recognition as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from
Audubon International. This two year intensive process required demonstration
of a high degree of environmental quality in seven specific areas including:
Environmental Planning, Wildlife and Habitat Management, Outreach and
Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation, and Water
Quality Management. EagleVail's golf course was created in the 1970s by the
Devlin/Von Hagge design team to provide a true mountain golf experience. Both
the 18 hole and Par 3 courses are integrated with rivers, streams, ponds,
wetlands, forests, and gardens. EagleVail's stunning mountain setting with its
varying microclimates and multi-faceted terrain is one of the Colorado's most
unique golf courses.
