“A crowd of approximately 1,500 people flocked to the mall at Snowmass-at-Aspen for Western Days,” The Snowmass Villager reported Aug. 8, 1968. People gathered “to watch and participate in a variety of planned events.”
“There was a parade of the old west, horse races, western entertainment, square dancing, a western movie, can-can girls, western snacks, a flapjack breakfast and dancing to western music.”
