Your Sun Dance shade house?


Attention: Southern Ute tribal elders and tribal members with disabilities

The following are dates and contact information that pertain to repairs and brush for your shade house. Please mark your calendars so you don’t miss out on getting help if you need it.

Rafter and Crutch pole repairs will take place June 22 through June 26 until 5 p.m. If you call after June 26 they will not be available to work on your shade house as they will be out getting what they need for the corral so make sure you call as soon as you can to get on the ‘REPAIRS’ list.

Construction Services will be taking your request; Stop by their office at your earliest convenience to pick up the ribbon you will need to place on your shade house. You may call in advance to have your ribbon ready.

ALL requests need to go through Construction Services to ensure that you get the assistance you need.

If you have any questions please contact Event Coordinator, Tara Vigil at 970-563-0100, ext. 3624.  Southern Ute tribal elders or tribal members with disabilities who need a ride to pick up their ribbon please call Southern Ute Elders Services at 970-563-0156.
