Trying out a new venue for yet another free concert in the Park in Parker, The Outfit will entertain music fans on the South lawn of the Parker Library just west of downtown Parker.
Saturday, August 28, 2010 – 7:00pm
Parker Public Library South Lawn
10851 South Crossroads Drive (Map)
Parker, CO 80134
Please bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnics and non-alcoholic beverages along to enjoy this band that was nominated for best Lo-Fi/Garage Rock band in the Westword Music Showcase. No registration is required. The band hopes to have it’s first album released before this concert so be ready to support local artists by purchasing one if you enjoy their music.
Their song ‘What Happened to You’ has been played on KTCL 93.3′s esteemed Locals Only show.
The Outfit Band includes five Colorado local musicians:
- Eric Johnston
- Casey Banker
- RJ Powers
- Mike King
- Christopher Cain
“The Outfit is a big, hearty sound. It swirls and churns with the watery metallic of a motor’s hum. They teeter on the edge of throwing a rod and kicking the whole machine into chaos — but somehow, impossibly, they always throttle with a throaty obligatto — sometimes killing the engine altogether for a desperate breath, then violently firing the pistons into eloquent motion again before diving deeper into the emotional life of fire.” — Jonathan Bitz, Denver Syntax Autumn 2009

Missoula Children’s Theatre Auditions – The Frog Prince
Calling all drama queens and kings between the ages of 5 and 18 to audition for Missoula Children’s Theatre’s The Frog Prince on Monday, June 28 at 4 p.m. at the Parker Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet. No preparations are necessary—just be yourself!
This production of The Frog Prince is no ordinary tale! Deep in the royal swamp, the lonely Frog offers to help Princess Prim in exchange for friendship. Well, the spoiled Princess doesn’t hold up her end of the bargain and so the trouble begins. Bert the Alligator, Swamp Things, dancing Flamingos, Venus Fly Traps and other colorful characters come together to teach the moral of this wonderful story—it’s not what you are but who you are that counts.
The casted actors and crew will work hard all week, from June 28 through July 3 with daily rehearsals from 4 to 6 p.m. and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and a Saturday dress rehearsal at 10 a.m. Cast members must be available for all rehearsals and pay a $45 production fee, which includes two performance tickets, in order to participate.
Presented by the Parker Cultural and Scientific Commission, performances of The Frog Prince are Saturday, July 3 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Mainstreet Center. Tickets are $5 for ages 3 and up and are available at the Mainstreet Center and online at ParkerRec.com.

Holiday Events this weekend in Parker Colorado
Posted by: | CommentsHoliday Events for friends and family in Douglas County South Metro Denver Colorado this weekend Friday December 18th, Saturday December 19th and Sunday December 20th.
There are so many things to do this holiday season in the area, it’s hard to keep track. Hopefully this list of “things to do” for this weekend will help you to create your new simpler Christmas holiday traditions. 2009 is the year that most residents in Colorado are working to reduce the getting and increase the giving, not of things necessarily, but your time, attention and care to those in your life that really matter the most. Lets step back to smell the holly instead of rushing from store to store buying things instead of memories.
Below you will find a few things that are quite inexpensive and that you can enjoy with your loved one’s.
- Horse drawn carraige rides in Parker Colorado for only $5 a piece. Enjoy this quaint little town just South of Metro Denver. See the slide show and more information here
- Friday Only Songstresses, Liz Clark and Tessa Perry will be teaming up for a special evening of harmonies, songs and stories at Kunjani Coffea in Parker CO Dec 18th at 6:30 p.m. Details and map here
- Highlands Ranch Christmas Market is in it’s final weekend. There will be unique handmade gift items, traditional Chrismtas foods for gifts or your family meal along with favorite vendors from the summer Highlands Ranch farmers market.
- Winter WonderLights runs nightly, December 11-24 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. (last ticket will be sold at 8p.m.) Map and details.
- The 6th Annual Nutcracker of Parker returns once again this Christmas Season. 4 performances on Satuday December 19 and Sunday December 20
- Santa Paws is coming to your town and there is one weekend left to get a fabulous keepsake photo of the Christmas holidays and help support Every Creature Counts a local Colorado no-kill animal shelter in the process.
- Go as a family to see Blind Side… (you signed up for the $5 Buck club.. right?) This movie is absolutely wonderful and shows the spirit of giving better than any I’ve seen in a long time.
