Up From The Ashes

Comments (0) By Patricia Calhoun Thursday, Sep 1 2011

The flames of the Fourmile Canyon fire have long been extinguished, but the scars remain -- on the hillsides, and in the bank accounts and psyches of the victims. A Night at the Gold Hill Inn, a fundraiser at the historic Gold Hill Inn from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. tonight, will acknowledge the devastation of the fire that raged through the hills around the old mining town a year ago, while honoring the lives and communities that were saved. It will also serve up some great food: Many of Boulder's best-known chefs -- Dave Query of Big Red F Restaurants (Centro, Jax, Zolo and West End Tavern among them), Hugo Matheson of the Kitchen, Bradford Heap of SALT, Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan MacKinnon Patterson of Frasca -- will join with Janos Wilder of Tucson's Janos Restaurant to prepare a five-course dinner (with wines). The festivities will also include live music by Romano Paoletti & KC Groves, as well as an auction that includes travel and restaurant packages, as well as a pair of tickets to the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival.
