A Taste of Colorado

            AMCIS conference attendees experienced a special Taste of Colorado evening. The food and music were terrific,  but the brief rain brought out a fantastic double rainbow and glowing sunset. A terrific fireworks supply supplied by Keystone capped off a special evening.

Food

         Attendees should come prepared to sample some of the best food Colorado has to offer, like Colorado raised chicken, Alamosa bass, buffalo, black bean and corn chili, and Colorado peaches and cantelope!  Colorado's crisp mountain air, fresh Rocky Mountain water, and 375 days of sunshine a year give its food a taste all its own!  So get ready for a Colorado culinary experience!

Drink

At high-altitude it's important to stay hydrated. We are going to do our best to help you out with this. Colorado is famous for its Rocky Mountain water and is the home of Coors and New Belgium beer, some terrific wine, and .... clear, cold, water! Sample a Colorado chardonnay, one of our terrific New Belgium micro-brewed beers, or a cold Coors.   

Music

          The event wouldn't be complete without some authentic Rocky Mountain High, Colorado's state song!
