Our table sponsors enjoy a seated dinner near the dance floor and all of the general admission options as well.
Our favorite bonus experiences at the event are the mechanical bull ride and the horse drawn wagon ride around downtown Carbondale which is provided by Nieslanik Horse's from the local Nieslanik Ranch!

Cowboy Up Carbondale has been blessed with generous board members since its inception in 2009, who are 100% volunteers. With a passion for our community and the love of Carbondale's western heritage. Every year they create an event that gives everyone a chance to experience timeless western fun while raising funds for our local nonprofits within the Roaring Fork Valley. While the event takes place once a year, the hard work for this event extends beyond the two days of set up and tear down. Our board members are networking throughout our community, reviewing beneficiary applicants, and discussing ways that Cowboy Up Carbondale can increasingly help our community. We is blessed to have our current board members; Scott Haycock, Erin Bassett, Natalie Bassett, Eric Rudd, Jayme Goscha, and Angela Jaworski.
