Castle Rock

Summer Concert Series Outdoor concert venues are stuff of legends in Colorado. Right here in Castle Rock there is just such a venue that makes enjoying fantastic music that much more majestic of an experience. If you’ve never experienced a concert at the Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park, this summer’s line up of entertainment is the perfect opportunity to check that off your list.

Past performers in the Summer Concert Series include Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Shooter Jennings, Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Thompson Square. This summer’s lineup kicks off with Everclear, with special guest Tonic, on June 15th.

With some of the 90’s most iconic alt-rock hits, Everclear hasn’t slowed down a bit, continuing to tour and play their hits that you can’t help but sing along to like, “Father of Mine” and “Santa Monica.” Their 2015 album, “Black is the New Black,” proves that they just keep making great music, no matter the decade!

July 13th is the Castle Rock Summer Jam, an all day event that will be rockin’ from 2-9pm! This year’s lineup include battle of the band winners Solar, John Saunders Band and The Fray.

All you country music fans will want to wrangle tickets to see Clay Walker on Sunday, June 21st, from 6-10pm. After bursting onto the charts over 25 years ago with hits like “What’s It to You” and “Live Until I Die,” Clay Walker went on to record album after album of chart topping hits.

With success spanning decades, The Guess Who, will be performing for what is sure to be a multi-generational audience on August 11th. Through all their incarnations over 5

the past 6 decades, they have found ways to reinvent themselves along the way. Their single, “American Woman,” was originally released in 1969 but which was recorded and rereleased by Lenny Kravitz 30 years later, reintroducing The Guess Who to a whole new generation of fans.

The Summer Concert series closes with a performance by the Denver Pops on Sunday, August 24th. The Denver Pops: A Beatles Tribute Featuring Mike Masse and the Rubber Souls will be the perfect way to end an epic summer of music.

It would be hard to choose which of these shows not to miss, but luckily, there are a limited number of Season Lawn Passes for sale, so you don’t have to miss a single one!

With a Season Lawn Pass, you get one general admission ticket to all five concerts in the Summer Concert Series, a Season Pass lanyard mailed to your home, separate venue entry (must have your lanyard and pass present to enter) and free parking.

What a perfect way to spend the summer!

For the price of some single concert tickets, you get FIVE outstanding concerts to fill your summer.

It doesn’t get much better than sitting under the twinkling lights in the trees, with the rising up around you, under a gorgeous, Colorado summer sky - drink in hand while an amazing show is happening in a beautiful amphitheater right in front of you.

Come take it all in this summer at the and one of the shows that make up this year’s Castle Rock Summer Concert Series.

Castle Rock Races No matter your age or ability level, there’s plenty of opportunities to get out and get active this month in Castle Rock!

Climb4Change – May 11th Life is often an uphill battle. Climb4Change takes an uphill battle and turns it into progress for an incredibly important cause, the Town of Castle Rock’s Adaptive Recreation Program.

Since Climb4Change’s inception, program registration has increased by over 70% and the event has raised thousands of dollars helping to ensure everyone in the community has access to recreational opportunities. Climb4Change is a whole different kind of 5K; instead of running 3 miles, you are racing up the stairs of the Challenge Hill at Phillip S. Miller Park.

There are four events to choose from: Race to the Top – A one-time run to the top… think you can beat the course record?

Trail Race – Go up the stairs and down the trail, but hurry, you only have 30 minutes.

Power Hour – You guessed it. Up and down those stairs, for an hour!

Run4Fun – This untimed event is a little less competitive way to show your support. You’ll go up the stairs and down the trail, just once, and can be done at any time during the event except at the start of any of the other races.

Participants in this event still receive a shirt and medal.

The fun gets underway at 7:00am at the Challenge Hill at Philip S. Miller Park with packet pick up. Power Hour begins at 9:25am, the Trail Race commences at 10:15am and the Race to the Top starts at 10:45am. The Run4Fun officially begins at 11:15am but can be done at anytime. At 11:15am race division results and Hill records will be announced.

Just give it a TRI! – Tri the Rock Youth Triathlon - May 19th Castle Rock’s annual youth triathlon, for all adventurous kids ages 5-14, offers up the chance for kids to get out, get active and give a challenge at try! On Sunday, May 19th, the bike racks at Butterfield Crossing Park and Pool will open at 6:30am with the race beginning at 8:00am.

Tri the Rock will compete based on the athlete’s age as of Race Day, with the following divisions: 5-6 years old will swim 25 meters (one pool length), bike 1 km (one lap around Butterfield Park) and run 500 meters (see the course map.)

Please note that this age group will not begin their race until 10:30 am. 7-8 & 9-10 yearolds will swim 50m (two lengths of the pool), bike 4km and run 1km (see the course map for both), and the 11-12 & 12-14 year olds will swim 100m (down and back the length of the pool twice), bike 8km and run 2km (see the course map.)

The purpose of Tri the Rock is to get kids to try something new, so a portion of each registration fee is donated back to participants’ school or club. Be sure to indicate your school or club when you sign up and the winning school will get the honor of displaying the Tri the Rock trophy at their school this next year!

Go to www.crgov.com/2004/Tri-the-Rock for more details and the link to registration.

Memorial Day Run & March - May 25th The Memorial Day Run & March invites

civilians, veterans and uniformed military to challenge themselves to friendly competition, all while helping to feed homeless veterans.

Register today to be a part of the largest food donation in Colorado! Choose the 5K, 10K or 30K route and be sure to bring non-perishable food items for donation. With three routes to choose from, there is a race for participants of all ages and capabilities. Participants 12 and under get free admission to the fairgrounds and any race route (timing bib, medal and shirt not included.) All are welcome to participate, including your four-legged friends. Upgrade any race to a more challenging Ruck March (participants will bring and carry a 25lb pack filled with non-perishable food during your race.) 100% of your registration (and donations) goes directly to helping Colorado veterans in need. Finishers of the 30K Ruck March will receive the Norwegian Foot March Badge. All non-perishable food items will be donated to help feed local Veterans in need.

Hosted by Colorado Veterans Project, this event also includes Freedom Fest, an indoor expo featuring live music, beer and food truck vendors, and other special guests. Static displays of military vehicles will be on hand for participants and attendees to interact with as well. Since 2015, over 96,000 pounds of food has been donated to Veterans in need.

What better way to kick off Memorial Day Weekend than by paying our respects, while paying it forward, to those who have served so bravely for our country? Join the mission to enhance pride and patriotism in order to build a stronger, even more supportive community around our veterans.

MOMS ‘N

MAMOSAS

Mother’s Day is usually filled with incredibly sweet homemade cards, maybe a little breakfast in bed or maybe a nice brunch out to show mom just how much you love and appreciate her. However you choose to spend it, hopefully it includes plans to spoil the moms in your life as much as possible. This year, you can change up the routine and treat Mom to a very special day at the Outlets at Castle Rock at this month’s Moms ‘n Mimosas event! On Saturday, May 11th, the center is hosting a very special shopping day that will include a heavily discounted “Paint & Sip” session by Painting with a Twist.

With the purchase of your $15 ticket, you’ll get your canvas, painting materials and instruction from Painting with a Twist AND complimentary mimosas (for attendees 21 and over.) Additional beverages will be available for purchase to benefit charity. Attendees will also receive goodie bags, snacks, a complimentary massage, special coupons, giveaways and more! Come for some serious fun, leave with a keepsake the you painted yourself and lots of other goodies! Make a day of it and spend some time strolling through the shops at the Outlets and grab lunch or dinner at any one of the dozens of restaurants in the area.

No mother would dare get rid of those lovingly handmade gifts, often hastily glued together and covered in glitter, and not many moms would turn down the chance for a fun filled afternoon out either – an afternoon with complimentary mimosas to boot!

Tickets for the special two-hour painting sessions are available for 11am or 2pm time slots. Tickets are expected to sell out, so register as soon as possible to snag a slot! Go to www.outletsatcastlerock.com and follow the link through the events tab to register for this very special “Moms Day Out.” Mix up the Mother’s Day routine this year and spend an afternoon out that you’ll remember for years to come! Make at day of it at the Outlets at Castle Rock at the 2019 Moms and Mimosas event with Painting with a Twist.

he can certainly lead you to a fantastic selection as James is a certified sommelier.

Crush Wine Bar offers over 50 wines by the glass, half-glass, quarter-glass or bottle. It’s a great place to sample many different wines! I was impressed when I viewed the wine list.

I love the extra description they add so I get a feel for the wine as I read down the list. It creates an experience before I decide, Rich and full, vanilla, crème brulee, or Black fruit, earth, spice, medium-bodied.

I can feel like an expert even though I’m only a novice.

Come by for Happy Hour!

Monday, All Night! Tuesday - Saturday, 4:00pm - 6:00pm Discounts on all small plates and all full glasses of wine.

Enjoy your evening at Crush Wine Bar. Photo credit Nick Lucey
