"I was born and raised in Colorado, but never knew about B***o Days until I bought my cabins. I had the pleasure of going last year and it exceeded my expectations.

It is the last full weekend of July, and there is so much going on including:

⛺️ SO many vendors with wonderful treasures and keepsakes

🎺 Live music going on all weekend - day and night!

🐐 Tons of kids activities including a petting zoo put on by , face painting, & multiple bouncy houses

🍺🌭🍗 Food and drink options galore, including to-go cocktails from

Sunday is the big day where everyone lines Front Street in FairPlay awaiting the big event. There are two B***o races, the short course (15-miles) and long course (29 miles with a 3,200 elevation gain 🥵).

Following the b***o race is the most quintessential, small-town parade I’ve ever seen. 🏍️🇺🇸🎈🍬

The energy in town is contagious, and the people a delight. The people of Fairplay are proud every day, but over this weekend they are on fire and excited to show off this small town with major charm. 🤠

Attending last year made me fall in love with FairPlay more than I already was, and I can’t wait to keep sharing it with friends, family, and our guests! 🗺️⛰️🤗!"
