The Weekend – Cruise-A-Thong, Disk Golf Tourney, Chicago Musical

The 7th Annual CRUISE-a-THONG Weekend will be held in Town Park on July 28th and 29th, 2012.  The event features a triathlon designed for the not-quite-hardcore athlete in all of us! The course consists of three legs, the first being a cruiser bike ride or other self-propelled method of transportation through downtown Pagosa Springs. Next, a thong (that is to say flip-flop) walk along the almost world famous Pagosa Springs Riverwalk. And lastly, a tube or other flotation device float down the San Juan River.

Only the highest of society events require this much mirror time.

This  year’s event is going to be the best weekend you had all summer with a great after party with live music, food and beverages. The weekend begins with the Bloody Mary Showdown and later in the afternoon awards for outstanding outfits, methods of “cruising” and most creative flotation device.  And don’t miss out on Sunday’s Hair of the Dog Disc Golf Tournament.

And he spoke unto them saying,

 ”Tis the day of Cruise-A-Thong

All the people are festooned

In clothes of many colors

Headbands and balloons.

 

In the park we have gathered

What a sight to behold

I can’t believe you’re wearing that

Is it really that cold?

 

We are here in celebration

Of average and of plain

We are looking for the middleman

Be it Joe or Jane.

 

Who has been in training?

Raise your hands, don’t be shy

The person you have to watch out for

Is that guy!

 

Watch your beverages and your actions

Your behavior is expected

Being drunk, disorderly or just plain s@%TTy

Will get you immediately ejected.

 

Now find yourself a buddy

Whether stranger or old friend

A make sure they stay focused

From beginning to end.

 

The course is wrought with peril

Danger on all sides

Now climb aboard your cruiser

And ride baby ride.”

 

Bloody Sunday, Town Park.
