Need a little help PLease! I just found out next year I have to put on a Banquet in Colorado Springs for around 100-150 Shriners! They gave us a few choices, but I would love to here some things from people that have been there done that... Al Kaly Shrine Center from there is our host!

This group is from 21-70 age wise but awnery and like to have a great time!

We are bringing about 2,500-3000 of us there for a convention around Labor Day next year!

Any Help I would be grateful.

Thank You
Past Potentate Moila Shrine Center
BR Smith

Hope that was formal enough!

Not exactly banquet quality, but don't miss the tasting room at Bristol's. http://www.bristolbrewing.com/

Phantom Canyon is a great brewery and restaurant with a banquet facility. http://www.phantomcanyon.com

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Broadmoor Hotel
Cave of the Winds
Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge RR
Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum

Oh, and what E said, too.

FARGO'S PIZZA PARLOR for the atmosphere alone!

Pizza is above average, but the place is a TRIP!

Hmmm, probably too late for this but have you found the Flying W Ranch? They do sort of a western dinner show in CO. Sickeningly touristy but most people like that sort of thing.
