Denverites moonlight as Urban Cowboys (and girls)
If you’ve been looking for that cowboy (or cowgirl) to ride off into the sunset with you should have been at Casselman’s Bar and Venue in Denver Saturday night for the Ascent Foundation’s 7th Annual Urban Cowboy Event.
From honky tonk music to barbeque, bull riding, arm wrestling, and spirits, this party left no beer bottle unopened. Even Metromix got involved by milking good ol’ Bessie during the cow milking competition (from the pictures you can tell she enjoyed every minute of it).
Partygoers two-stepped the night away to music courtesy of Halden Wofford and the Hi Beams and The Ghost of Joseph Buck. The Ascent Foundation, a Denver non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and money for small charitable organizations, hosts the event on every year. Part of the proceeds from Saturday night will go to Sewall Child Development that helps young children with special needs and disadvantages reach their full potential.
If nothing else, one thing was is certain. Bob the Bull launched a "buck load" of people on Saturday. So many in fact, that Metromix was afraid to saddle up and take a spin. Next time Bob, next time. —Laura Kelley, Special to Metromix
