“Limelite is sold to G. Yarbrough and three others,” noted the Aspen Times on April 30, 1959.
“One of Aspen’s most important nightclub-restaurants, the Limelite, has been sold it was announced this week by Glenn Yarbrough, head of a group of four which purchased it. Yarbrough, who leased the club and managed it during the past winter season, now owns 40% of the business and propriety. Other purchasers are Alex Hasilev, Aspen; Ruth Clark, Glenwood Springs, and Don Coatney, St. Paul, Minn. The sale was made by Sheldon Rich, who opened the bar-restaurant in July 1957, and who was the principal owner.”
