Summer in Aspen may be short,
but with the packed schedule of
parties, art exhibits, auctions, and
concerts, we do our best to make
up for it. These Aspenites kicked
it off right at the Testosterone
opening party, LivAspenArt
Gallery, Chili Pepper & Brew Fest,
and Anderson Ranch events.

most frenetic weekends in
our singular party town. Our

Food & Wine
Classic
What would the Food & Wine
Classic be without a few stars
and celebrity chefs? From
the welcome reception to
the trade-only “Steak Out”
lunch, we spotted quite a few
famous faces.
