"Wine, Jazz and Art On The Arkansas" - June 20 - 21, 2009.   In 2008, we moved the event to the grounds of The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey on Highway 50 at the east end of Cañon City . . . . we "Jazzed It Up!" with a full selection of award-winning wines from The Winery.  In 2009, we'll do it again with another great lineup of terrific jazz bands!  The 2009 event will take place over the weekend of June 20 and 21 (Saturday and Sunday), and will again be one of Southern Colorado's premier exhibits for artists, artisans and crafts experts!  With the new setting at The Winery, we will feature a terrific backdrop for art and jazz!  The 2008 bands included "The Brad Bietry Quartet," "Changing Times," "The Queen City Jazz Band," "Dude Suite," "Bob Alexander and The Promise," sponsored by the Pikes Peak Jazz and Swing Society, and much more! Like last year, we will feature an amazing array of arts & crafts, accompanied by entertainment, food & fun, in a beautiful setting at The Winery.  The juried event will draw another great crowd for a great cause!  Click here for the application form.  The lineup of bands will be available here soon - keep checking this web site for updates!
