Bootleggers owners Ed and Deanna Stefanich finally had their official Grand Opening on Saturday, November
7th, and it was some party!

Labeled as a “branding
party”, many local ranchers showed up with their
branding irons. Outside, a big cast iron kettle with hot
coals kept the irons red hot and almost anything that
was made of wood was a target, including the ceiling
beams! Drop by and see the brands and try their
excellent food and drink. Bootleggers Mercantile,
Deli & Speakeasy, 309 Main Street, Westcliffe. 719
783-2153.
