December 20, 2007 - Winter Ceremonials Upcoming at Koshare Kiva on the Santa Fe Trail

Wonderful colors can be seen at the Winter Ceremonials held along the Santa Fe Trail in Colorado. Ceremonials are performed in the historic Koshare Kiva (115 West 18th Street, La Junta, Colorado). This season’s Winter Ceremonials are held December 27-29, 2007 and January 4-5, 2008. All shows are approximately two hours in length.

Discover the inspiring story of how a group of boys built the Koshare program. The story begins at the bottom of the Great Depression. The Koshare Indian Dancers are members of Boy Scout Troop 232 and Venturing Crew 2230 of the Rocky Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of America.

Besides the Winter Ceremonials, come celebrate the 75th Anniversary for the Koshare Indian Dancers all year long in 2008. The main celebration will begin on Friday, July 25, 2008. Small events will be held throughout the year and will be announced later this year and early next year.
