The proceeds will go to benefit the newly reformed Mancos Valley Historical Society, and event planners hope you will come relive a bit a the Roaring Twenties in a set of pearls or pinstripe suit.

The events range from old favorites like the bed races and golf tournament to new kid-friendly events such as the kids’ carnival.

In keeping with theme, some of the events include a old time movie night, a Charleston dance lesson, and a costume contest.

The historical society’s new goals are funding improvements to the Opera House, documenting the historical landmarks, founding a town museum and helping keep arts in school.
