Each year Telluride Colorado attracts thousands upon thousands of fans that love bluegrass music, the summer season and the town itself. The Telluride Bluegrass festival put on each year by Planet Bluegrass started in 1974 and attracted a little more than 1,000 participants. In recent years the cap limit on festival participants has been placed at 10,000 people. People love this event because they are actually able to camp in the town park. The trick is to look online early because the lottery is often closed many months before the event is scheduled to take place. This event is for people of all ages, and is not to be missed if you are in the area in mid to late June.

The story of Harry Jack is in fact quite simple, not made of legend or fancy, but rather of family ties and respect. Harry was a farmer of scale not much more than subsistence.
His means of livelihood were often superseded by his passion for life, which after having served King and country during World War 2, was abounded. Family came first, and after the days duties were dispensed with, Harry would retire to his barn, to ferment, brew or distill whatever was available; from marigold wines to odious bitters, Harry Jack would cultivate these precious liquids.
Whenever time came for tasting, Harry’s Barn would be open to all. Friends and locals arrived and the old gabled barn soon became a hub of village politics and gossip. Glasses were chinked and platters brought forth from the old farmhouse kitchen. Merriment and spirit abounded during these long lazy days, and Harry’s hospitality earned him respect and recognition.
