The second annual Bluegrass for the Animas festival
was held last Saturday as a fund-raiser for two local
nonprofits, the Animas Conservancy and Friends of the
Animas River. The event took place on the 120 acres
of open space, the Animas Meanders Ranch, which is owned
by Paula and Leela Sugnet. Several local bands performed
throughout the day, with Mary & Mars, a bluegrass
group from Santa Fe, headlining the festival. Local
breweries and restaurants donated proceeds from beer
and food sales helping the festival raise funds for
the groups.
