The 2012 Pagosa Springs Fourth of July Parade had special meaning this dry year with the fires we’ve experienced throughout Colorado. The crowd seemed much bigger and the temperature was definitely cooler this morning for another great small town parade.

Below are three videos showing the entire parade along with more great photographs and a special fast-motion stop gap video as well. In all, we shot 33 minutes of HD video, shot 200 photos and took 1,325 pictures with the GoPro Hero 2 for our fast-action stop-gap video. Feel free to share with your friends and remember that you can always email me to request a special picture you’d like to share for non-commercial purposes.

Pagosa’s Snowball Road is one of the most beautiful drives close to town and the pictures and videos below showcase just how much snow you can expect to see on this amazing drive.

 

 

The skies threatened to open late Saturday afternoon but the deluge never came as just a brief shower and cooling winds descended on the 2011 Four Corners Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs. But whatever relief from the heat we experienced quickly dissapated as Los Lobos took the stage as Saturday’s headline act. The entire crowd was on their feet under the big tent and a huge crowd danced feverishly on either side of the tent. I had to set my tripod atop several chairs just to get a vantage point above the crowd. Below is the video I shot of Los Lobos’ encore songs that followed a raucous crowd ovation.  It’s over 15 minutes long because I couldn’t figure out a place to stop recording without missing some of the next song they performed. “La Bamba is at minute 5:36.

I recommend hitting play and then pausing the playback until the stream is complete for best playback.

We had another perfect day for our annual Fourth of July parade here in Pagosa Springs with less heat than last year’s parade.  Below are photos and videos of this year’s parade taken from my spot just outside of Jim Smith Realty.  The video is four parts this year if you can believe that (Still waiting on YouTube to load Part 3 correctly.  The videos are listed first (with participants listed below each video with the time points they appear on the parade route for quicker access coming soon) with highlighted photos are posted below the videos with even more photos listed in the thumbnails at the bottom of the page.

Wow! What can we say about this year’s Folk ‘n Bluegrass Festival? The weather was a classic crystal blue skies Pagosa weekend and the crowd was festive and friendly.

Below are some of the video clips I filmed during Saturday and Sunday afternoon featuring Warren Hood & The Goods, Eddie From Ohio, The Dixie Bee-Liners, Crooked Still and Solas. Below the videos is an embedded video series featuring all the video I shot. You can also view this series on my 2011 Pagosa Folk ‘n Bluegrass channel on YouTube.

Well, we were expecting rain today but the weather held up just long enough for us to have a dry 2011 St. Patrick’s Day Parade here in Pagosa Springs. We’re lucky to work at the downtown Jim Smith Realty office where we just step outside our door to watch the parade. “Blink and you miss it,” I always say about the St. Patty’s Parade because it so short.

Update: March 20,2011

High Horse Productions just posted their coverage of the parade.  Video below:

I shot this great video during Christmas 2008 during a big snowstorm.  It’s been very popular on my “All Things Pagosa” YouTube channel and we thought we’d share it with here one more time.  My favorite part of the video is minute 1:45 when the little girl reaches for the snow and she’s disappointed because the snow melts in her hands which are warm from the hot springs.   If you feel you can’t get enough, check out the video I prepared of my drive to the office that morning below the Pagosa Hot Springs video.

Blondie’s Produce is back in Pagosa Springs this year and roasting bushels of green chiles at the east side of town.  Evan and I stopped by Saturday to film the short video below showing Jimmy from Austin, TX as he roasted a sack of super hot green chiles in the parking lot just west of the Everyday gas station and across the street from JJ’s Riverwalk Restaurant and the Ski & Bow Rack.

Blondies offer a wide selection of fresh produce from Grand Junction, CO such as peaches, tomatoes, tomatias, plums,  green beans, melons and much more.  But with the 2010 Pagosa Springs Mountain Chile Cha Cha coming up this weekend, I wanted to show our “All Things Pagosa” readers the green chile roasting process (video below).


Jimmy’s group has been coming to the same location in Pagosa Springs for the past 22 years.

What a perfect day for a parade here in Pagosa Springs. This year’s parade was on Saturday, July 3 to accommodate Sunday church services.  The temperature was perfect (not too hot) and the skies were perfect Pagosa blue.

Below is a three part video series covering the entire parade with parade participants listed below each video.  Please contact me for participant misspellings or omissions.

Special thanks again to Billy Joe Willet who describes himself as “a displaced Pagosa Springs refugee.  Left this little piece of heaven in the San Juan Mountains at the age of 17 to join the Navy. Honorable discharged after completed a so called kiddie cruise just under four years. Retired from a major aerospace mfg. and now spend my days nursing aches and pains.”

If you love Pagosa, I encourage you to visit his “Please Turn Back the Years” blog where he says:  “Ever wonder why so much effort is put into growing up and achieving great wealth or stardom? If only we could turn back the years, maybe we would have treasured such simple things as a family at meal time saying a simple prayer of thanks for the biscuits and gravy or a special thanks for a chicken leg from your fathers coup.”

Enjoy the pictures and check out some of his other vintage Pagosa Springs photographs on previous “All Things Pagosa” posts.
