Mark your calendars everyone; Hasty, Colorado, will put on its annual day-of-days-to-play, exactly four weeks from today! Hasty Days is an all day event not to be missed. The first annual Hasty days, Sept. 6th, 2008, was a roaring success when hundreds of folks filled the small community of Hasty and made memories forever. More events are scheduled this year; your day will be full of choices for fun, food and play.
The Hasty-McClave Volunteer Fire Department will start the activities with a hearty pancake breakfast at the fire house, from 7 to 9 AM, fit for all kinds of appetites. The parade begins at 10 AM; $5 per entry with line-up at 9 AM. Come early; get a good place in line.
The Turner Antique Tractor/Lawnmower Pull begins at 11 AM. Last year, entries from several surrounding counties participated with some beautiful, unique and powerful machines. Pack plenty of water (Colleen will have lots of drinks available at the store). The Lawnmower race follows the Tractor Pull.
“Building the John Martin Reservoir” will show some local history and give a respite from the hard playing going on around town. John Martin Reservoir sits about a mile south of Hasty. A stunning example of Nature’s wonder - molded by humans, the reservoir stores large amounts of water for agriculture while providing all types of recreation for anyone interested in playing on the high prairie of southeastern Colorado.

If all the action and walking and old time country fun gets your tummy growling, Funnel Cakes will be available all day. A big yard sale will also run most of the day.
Enjoy lunch at Colleen's store, (Valley Grocery); $5/person, $3/8 and younger. You can’t beat that price for Colleen’s famous vittles! Don’t forget to ask for her world-famous chocolate pie!
The Pierce Bar-B-Q, starting at 6:30 PM, is the best in three counties. Trust me on this, I ate way too much of it last year! Cost is $11/person, $8/8 and younger.
The evening will cap off with Freddy Darnell and Country Gold from 8 to 11 PM. Bring your dancing shoes or boots and enjoy the cool breezes and full moon of a beautiful prairie evening in southeast Colorado. You will make unique, forever-memories for you and your family.
