Happy Memorial Day.
Let’s all take a moment to remember the soldiers who didn’t make it home.
If anyone is interested, Ft Logan National Cemetery is in need of volunteers to place flags on graves, in honor of Memorial Day. Only a fraction of the people needed have signed up this year to place the flags, so they are looking for volunteers to help honor our local soldiers.
When: Sunday morning, May 30, 2021, 9am
Where: Ft Logan National Cemetery –
4400 W Kenyon Ave, Denver

Tentative Party With a Purpose!!
We have been in contact with Mike Nash. He wants to bring his entire band. The date we are looking at is Sunday, August 8, 2021. It will be an afternoon / early evening event so those of us who work on Mondays will still be able to function Monday morning.
Cost will be $40.
As always donations for our silent auction and “Chinese Raffle” are always welcome. So, start getting those baskets ready!

Northern Colorado Parrothead Event: For anyone looking for a fun weekend, our Phriends in the Northern Colorado PHC are having an event in June. The Northern Colorado PHC runs the beer garden at this event in Craig, Colorado. This is their big fund raiser for the year and all the proceeds the Parrotheads make on the beer garden, go to one of their favorite charities. If you are looking for something fun to do this summer, this looks like a wonderful event and it will support our fellow Parrotheads! See information below.

Red Rocks shows: The Mayor of Denver has announced that Red Rocks will be open to full capacity as of June 21!! I’m cautiously optimistic that the Buffett Red Rocks shows will happen. As we all know, this kind of thing can be taken away from us at any time. If they can hire enough staff to run everything, and if we don’t get shut down again, we may actually have Buffett concerts this year!!
If you had tickets last year and did not request your money back, you will still have tickets to the show this year. I will keep everyone posted on any news about the concerts. Keep your fingers crossed!!

Summer Concert Series…
The Landsharks are coming!!
Gary Roland and the Landsharks band will be playing at the Arvada Smoking’ Tuna (Pete’s house) on the night between the Buffett shows at Red Rocks. Jimmy is playing at Red Rocks on Tuesday, September 7 and Thursday, September 9, 2021. The Landsharks will play on Wednesday, September 8, 2021! Many Parrotheads from other clubs will be in town for the Buffett Red Rocks shows, so we will extend an invitation to members of other clubs to join the Colorado Parrotheads at Pete’s house for the “Concert in Between.” It’ll be a great time to meet fellow Parrotheads from all over!
Tickets are selling fast, so if you want to go, please reply to this email and I will add you to the list.
Tickets will be a wristband (left over from last year’s show that didn’t happen) They will be $45 each. Contact Pete or reply to this email for tickets (wristband). Pete will have them for sale at the meetings.
Fins up!
Parrot Head President, Pete!
