Risers 4 Rett is a fundraising arm for the Rocky Mountain Rett Association. We host three fly-fishing events each year. The tournaments take place in the world-class waters of the Gunnison, Taylor and East River – in Almont, CO. Cozy lodging at Almont Resort, delicious food & drinks, professional and highly experienced fishing guides, access to world-class private waters, fabulous awards for winners, and much more – ALL INCLUDED. The entrance fee will be $1750/person or if you already have a team, it’ll be $3500. For our spring and fall events, you and a friend can form a team for a fun competition with other teams. Don’t have a teammate yet? Individual participants are always welcome! Just contact Jessica at [email protected]. For event details please go to our website Risers4Rett.org Like all R4R events, this event benefits the Rocky Mountain Rett Association and Rett Clinic at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
