Busiest Time of the Year


As the sun rose this morning in Western Colorado a beautiful sight greeted us - snow dusted our Bookcliff Mountains, Monument and Mesa, making them shimmer in the morning light. At Main Paige the first snow indicates the start of our busiest season… no not Christmas, but the fashion show for Hospice and Palliative Care of Western Colorado. Beth has chosen wonderful music to fit the theme “The Love Stories of Our Lives”. We fit over 25 models in fantastic outfits and choreograph their walk down the runway. Models and dressers donate many hours of their time for fittings, rehearsals and the two shows. Women of all sizes and ages participate in this annual event.  Hundreds of pieces of clothing and accessories must be cataloged and organized. It is a huge effort, but well worth it when we see the final outcome on November 19th and 20th at the Doubletree Hotel. Each year tens of thousands of dollars are raised by Main Paige and the volunteers to support the Child and Teen Program. Hospice and Palliative Care is a vital element in our community and we are proud to be one of its partners.
