Then, up north in Sterling, it’s all about the sugar beets. They tease that sugar beets “look like the ugly cousin of a turnip” but are grown commercially in production of sugar.
Two days of food and craft vendors, live entertainment and an opportunity to meet the area farm families.
Meeker Classic Sheepdog Championship Trials, Sept. 7-12
Those 170 border collies will be hard at work rounding up 900 Merino ewes during a week of herding competitions. Amazing to watch what they’re born to do.

Aspen Ruggerfest, Sept. 23-26, Wagner Park Rugby Stadium and Rio Grande Field
A great Aspen autumn tradition.
