October 15-17, 2010

(Updated July 28, 2010)
 
Imagine a weekend with no kids, no laundry, no chores... just time with your sisters, mother, cousins, girlfriends... shopping, dining, getting pampered and enjoying Steamboat Springs!

Calling all “sisters”, biological, kindred, or otherwise for “Sisters in Steamboat Weekend”!
The women in your life are very important to you.  Often we don’t take the time to plan to do fun things with those women we love. Life gets in the way. This is a special event just for women that you can start planning for now. MainStreet Steamboat Springs wants this weekend to offer enough activities to choose from if you’re looking to shop or for something fun to do, but not so many things planned that you can’t just spend time together enjoying all Steamboat Springs has to offer. 

Invite five of your sisters or "sistas" to register for Sisters Weekend and your registration will be free. Email us with the name of your 5 sisters and your name and we will comp your registration.  The 5 friends must register on line, but you should email us with your contact information and you will be registered for free.  If you are confused by this, contact Tracy at 970-846-1800.

Early registration for "Sisters' Weekend" is $60 per person if registered before September 15.  Registration from September 16 on is $75 per person. ( The point is to register early so we can make plans.)

Registration includes the Opening Cocktail Reception, yoga on Saturday and Sunday, continental breakfast Saturday morning, most enrichment sessions (there are many to choose from), and the Little Black Dress "Eat Dessert First" Saturday early evening party.
