Mountain Plover Festival
2022-04-29 - 2022-05-01 | Karval Community Alliance, Karval, CO, 80823
2022 is the year of the return of the Mountain Plover Festival. And in the month of February, you can ENTER TO WIN a trio for two!
Karval, CO (FEBRUARY 1, 2022)—Mountain Plover Festival organizers announced today that the festival will be held this year after being canceled for the past two years due to the pandemic. In celebration of the festival’s return, the Karval Community Alliance is hosting a contest to win a trip for two to the event which will take place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 29-May 1, 2022.
Enter to win at www.seelincolncounty.com February 1-28, 2022. The winner will be notified March 1, 2022, and the prize includes one full festival package for two people with a homestay for two nights (Friday and Saturday evening) on a historic Colorado ranch, daily birding tours, Friday evening sandwich, and ice cream social, Saturday meals and Sunday breakfast. 2022 Mountain Plover Festival contest winners will be required to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event. Learn more at www.mountainploverfestival.com
“We bring the plover lovers to the bird,” Karval Community Alliance President Dan Merewether said. “Along with bird watching, our guests get the chance to mingle with farmers and ranchers who have lived on this land for generations, eat home-style food including a chuckwagon dinner with authentic western entertainment and learn about conservation practices and the history of this unique part of Colorado.”
Birders, nature lovers, and families will enjoy unique bird watching on ordinarily inaccessible private land, wildlife viewing, entertainment, history, and lots of great food. Local museums open for the weekend so travelers can get a true glimpse of life on the prairie during their visit to Lincoln County, Colorado.
The Mountain Plover is a bird that begins arriving on Colorado’s central plains in early April. Plovers find the short grass prairie and fallow fields in the area to be excellent habitat and Karval, Colorado is one of the largest nesting grounds in the nation. Mountain Plovers migrate over the Rocky Mountains from California, hence the name “mountain,” and stay in the area usually through late summer.
Birders visit this area from all over the world to spot the rare Mountain Plover. Often referred to as the “ghost of the prairie,” plovers blend in with the environment. The Mountain Plover Festival is a terrific time to travel the area in groups searching for nests that are tended by both female and male plovers. Third-generation ranchers, the sons, and daughters of Colorado homesteaders lead day and evening tours on public and private land including through a historic area where the Goodnight-Loving Cattle Trail ran in the late 1860s, driving the large-scale movement of Texas Longhorns north to Colorado.
This is a weekend full of bird watching, wildlife viewing tours, entertainment, history, arts and crafts, antiques, and LOTS OF GOOD FOOD! Along with bird watching, here are some of the other things you will enjoy:

You’ll get the chance to mingle with farmers and ranchers who choose to live in the local community and learn about their lifestyles.
Eat home-style food at every meal. Most meals are prepared by the community’s non-profit organizations.
Saturday evening includes a Country dinner with authentic western entertainment.
Learn about conservation practices and the history of the area.
Tour Private Land that would normally not be accessible.
Make new friends!

2022 Run for the Wall
2022-05-21 | Limon, Colorado, Limon, CO, 80828, United States
Every May, for more than a decade, an ever-increasing number of motorcyclists have made the “Run for the Wall,” a cross-country journey from Southern California to the “Wall,” the Vietnam war memorial in Washington, D.C. While the journey’s avowed purpose is political — to increase public awareness about those who remain either prisoners of war (POWs) or missing in action in Southeast Asia — it also serves as a healing pilgrimage for its participants and as a “welcome-home” ritual many veterans feel they never received.
Thousands of Veterans and motorcyclists will be traveling through Limon on May 21st 2022 and we hope to give them the small-town welcome that Eastern Colorado is known for. They will enjoy meals at Limon School and we will give them a patriotic send-off when they leave the morning of the 22nd.

What is a ranch rodeo?
A ranch rodeo is a traditional type of rodeo in which teams of cowboys or cowgirls from different ranches compete against each other in events based on the type of work they do every day.
Ranch rodeos differ from the more common PRCA-style rodeos in several ways. For starters, the contestants are not professional rodeo cowboys; instead, they are usually full-time ranch hands who compete in annual ranch rodeos for fun and for a chance to compete in the WRCA Finals in Amarillo, TX! The events in ranch rodeos are more similar to the tasks commonly performed on a ranch, and the equipment and tack used are the same as those used during everyday ranch work. Instead of competing as individuals, the contestants in ranch rodeos compete as a team representing the ranch they work for. Though there are often individual awards such as “Top Hand” and “Top Horse,” the main prize is for the top overall ranch team.
