The Christmas tree is dead and buried, the relatives are gone and you’re feeling a little blue thinking you’ll be stuck in your home until the weather warms. However, there’s still plenty to entertain you even if you don’t ski. Here’s a look at some interesting events to entertain you during our coldest month of the year.
Sunday 1/4/2009: “On All Fours” benefits one of Colorado Springs more interesting sports teams, The 
Pikes Peak Derby Dames which is a roller derby league (yes, the derby still exists). These 60 women are unpaid and have to raise funds to continue their hitting and skating. The benefit is at Phantom Canyon Brewery Co. from 6-10 pm and will feature the dames in a fashion show along with an art show of the Derby Dames during their games. Two comedians will also keep you laughing. All of this for only $25 which goes to support their traveling teams, costumes (yes, fishnet stockings are still worn), and the rental fees for City Auditorium where they play. Call 719-387-7212 for more info.
Monday 1/5/2009: Pioneers Museum is continuing the exhibit: Pikes Peak Or Bust which runs through September 5, 2009. As always its free. Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs will always be tied to the gold rush some 150 years ago. There’s something new every month, so do check the web site for what they’re focusing on during the year.
Tuesday 1/6/2009: If you were unable to attend The Derby Dames fund raiser on Sunday, you can still see “The Last Hippie in America” also known as Jim Wiggins. He’ll be performing at Jake and Telly’s Greek Cuisine tonight and Wednesday 8 pm. Think you can’t afford a well-known comedian? How about $10? Call 719-633-0406 for more details.
Wednesday 1/7/2009: Have toddlers? There’s a very special event at Bear Creek Nature Center. Interactive program and a short hike make this an especially enjoyable morning. Cost is $3. They’ll be ready for a great nap afterwards and you get a little time for yourself.
Thursday 1/08/2009: Here’s something no one wants to miss: Elvis Wine Dinner at The Blue Star Restaurant. Its a glorious five course meal paired with impressive wines. All for $49 not including tip or tax. Call 719-632-1392 for reservations (a must). These dinners are always fun and if you haven’t gone to one, try it.
Friday 1/09/2009: CC Tiger Hockey is back. If you haven’t been to a game this year come out to The 
World Arena and watch as the Tigers take on Minnesota State. Game starts at 7:30
I hope this gives you some fun and interesting events to enjoy this week. Just because its back to work and school doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do, so enjoy!
