From The Cortez Journal (Jim Mimiaga):
Connect with boaters, learn about river permits
The Dolores River Boating Advocates will have their annual river permit party on Jan. 25 from 6-10 p.m. at the Dolores Community Center.
The event features films, food, drinks, a silent auction with river-themed items and live music by Halden Wofford and the Hi Beams. The Dolores River does not require a permit, but there will information on the regional rivers that do.
The event is a chance to meet new boaters, plan river adventures and connect with the local river-running community.
Every year at the Permit Party, a community slideshow of Dolores River photos is presented at the beginning of the event…
Advance tickets for the permit party and concert are $12, or $15 at the door. Go to the website of the Dolores River Boating Advocates to buy online.
