Cowboy Brad Fitch and the TropiCowboy Band to headline Saturday's Salute to Americana

“I intend for my songs to express the wonder of being alive on this beautiful planet, and I hope they will help listeners to feel relaxed, comfortable and happy," said Brad Fitch, our featured Saturday performer at Salute to Americana. "If my music takes you to a pleasant place in your heart or your mind, then I have accomplished my purpose.”

Raised in Estes Park, Colorado, singer, songwriter and guitarist Brad Fitch has been playing professionally since he was 15 years old. “Cowboy” Brad specializes in original folk and western music.
 
Cowboy Brad Fitch and the TropiCowboy Band
 
Fitch performed for the President of the United States during his 2001 visit to Colorado and during the 2008 Democratic National Convention. He has opened for an impressive array of folk and western artists. Fitch has recorded 19 albums featuring his original music that reflects what he loves about nature and the western lifestyle. He has been part of several other popular performing and recording acts including the Fitch and Chips, The Elktones, The TropiCowboy Band and Barleens’ Arizona and Rocky Mountain Oprys.
 
For more than 10 years, Fitch has performed John Denver tribute concerts fundraisers for a variety of non-profit organizations throughout the United States. He has performed at the annual John Denver memorial concerts in Aspen, Colorado several times.

Fitch is a veteran United States Coast Guard officer, a YMCA Senior Director and a National Park Service Wilderness Ranger.

Club helps Crossroads
 
 
Here is the crew that packed 200 bags for Crossroads recently. 100 contained a sweet potato recipe and the other 100 had ingredients for a pineapple upside down cake. These are two of the parts that they will distribute for an Easter dinner. (Photo by Tara Moenning)
Duck Sorters Needed!
 

 
Work off those lunch calories by throwing some ducks around right after Rotary on Thursday, April 6. Volunteers should meet at Estes Park Self Storage, 1210 Woodstock, at 1:30 p.m. to wake up last year's quackers and sort them by number into bins. Bring a friend and wear your glasses!
 
Need more information? Call Wayne Andersen. (970-586-0478)
 
On April 13 and April 21 volunteers can help again with taking attendance for our 6,000 swimmers at Wayne's home on Ponderosa Ave.
May 6, 2017 is Duck Race Day in Estes Park
 
 
Mayor Todd Jirsa visited Duck Central on opening day, March 30, to present a proclamation from the Town of Estes Park to the Duck Race committee. Duck Central (next to Village Pizza in Lower Stanley Village) will be open from noon until 5 p.m. on Thursdays in April. Turn in your adoption forms for processing and help our totals increase!
 
 
Let's hear it for our mascot, Lucky, who is stopping by for photos with our charities. Above, Lucky visits Eagle Rock School.
Rotary Quote of the Week
 
"As someone who has had polio affect his own life, and the lives of family and friends, I'm a fan of the tremendous progress Rotary has made in the global effort to end polio. I'm in awe of your unwavering commitment, and forever grateful. I'm honored to join you for the 100th anniversary of The Rotary Foundation, and I personally thank you for all the good you've done and continue to do in the world."
- Jack Nicklaus, golf icon, philanthropist and Rotary polio ambassador, who will speak at the 2017 Rotary Convention in Atlanta
