Summer and fall are beautiful times of the year to be in Meeker. The warm, sunny weather provides ample opportunity to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in the White River Valley. In between your mountain adventures, you can soak in the local, small town flavor at the many events being put on in Meeker. For our out-of-town orthopedics patients, our summer and fall events will allow you and your family to immerse yourself in Meeker’s western culture while you undergo your procedure.
If you’re interested in coordinating your visit to Colorado Advanced Orthopedics around Meeker’s busy schedule of late summer and fall events, here are a few highlights that will help make your stay in town more enjoyable.
Downtown Meeker comes alive during our Meekerpalooza series. This event, held twice in June and twice in July, may be coming to a close for the summer, but there’s still time to catch our final dates on July 14 and 21.
From 4-9 pm, you can peruse our farmers market where you’ll have access to the finest crafts and products from many of Meeker’s local businesses. Catch some live music while enjoying a few tasty craft brews in our Beer Garden. There are also a variety of activities for the kids. Live music at the July 21 Meekerpalooza event will be brought to you by A Band Called Alexis.
Enjoy some authentic western fun at the Meeker Summer Rodeo Series. This event is held at the County Fairgrounds every Thursday night and is a great activity for people of all ages. Events include:
Our Rodeo Series goes through August 17, with the action starting at 6 pm.
The County Fair runs from July 31 through August 5.
The County Fair runs from July 31 through August 5 with a 4H/FFA Jr. Livestock Auction on Saturday at 1:30 pm.
If you’re looking for a true wild west experience, the Meeker Mustang Makeover is a must-see. On the weekend of August 25-26, horse trainers from across the west will compete for prize money and scholarships. Each entrant will have trained a wild American mustang for just 120 days. There are two divisions to the competition:
Trainers will show off their horses paces, do some cow work and hold an exciting free style event where anything goes. Judges will determine the winner and horses will be auctioned off at the end of the event, giving you a chance to take home an American mustang.
The event kicks off with a Wild West “Mustang Mingle” party with dancing and dinner Friday night. The Mustang Makeover competition goes from 10 am till 7 pm on Saturday.
Highlights of this fantastic event include:
If you’re in town for the Meeker Classic, you should also stop by the Jammin’ Lamb Fest. On September 9, you can enjoy a free outdoor concert at the Meeker Farmers Market and Beer Gardens. Dinner will feature Colorado grown lamb, along with a variety of delicious sides and desserts.
