Happy holidays from Hotel Colorado!
12/6/25: Agapito Associates celebrated Christmas early this weekend at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, under the watchful gaze of Theodore Roosevelt and Doc Holliday. In attendance were denizens from both the Golden and Grand Junction offices, all garbed in red, green, and white. Memories of this event will live on from the lively conversation and excellent food and beverage consumed at this historic location. Never before has such a critical mass of mining industry professionals assembled so close to Al Capone’s underground speakeasy! Here we all are, sprinkled by the first snows of the season. Happy Holidays!
