Daughtry rocks Carson By Kerstin Lopez Special to the Mountaineer

The Colorado Springs military community came out in full force June 8 as the award-winning rock group, Daughtry, took the stage and performed at Iron Horse Park. The free concert, offered through a partnership with Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and the Air Force Reserve, is part of the global “Tour for the Troops” event and culminated Iron Horse Week. “I couldn’t be happier than to be here at Fort Carson with all you beautiful people tonight,” Daughtry told the crowd. “Thank you so much for what you do for us and what you sacrifice.” The event catered to nearly 6,000 military personnel and their guests, said Ann Edinger, chief, DFMWR Events and Entertainment. Photo by Kerstin Lopez “It was a great Colorado evening — perfect for a concert,” Edinger said. “It was great to see our Soldiers and Families enjoying the music — dancing, singing and just generally having fun. “For just one night, for just a couple of hours, our Families escaped the pressures of continued deployment (and) redeployment, and shared a great time with their neighbors, Families and friends,” she said. Daughtry is led by former “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry, who is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the band. In 2006, Daughtry released its self-titled debut album, which sold more than 4 million copies and was named the best-selling album of 2007 by Billboard magazine. Since then, Daughtry has released two more studio albums and toured the U.S. and overseas to include several Air Force, Naval and other deployment locations in Germany, Turkey, Spain and Southwest Asia. Staff Sgt. Alejandro Torres, 127th Military Police Company, 759th MP Battalion, attended the concert with his wife and said the event was great for the community. “It was a good show,” Torres said. “It’s good for morale, and we should Photo by Kerstin Lopez have more events like this one — especially if it’s free.” Chris Daughtry performs for thousands during a free concert at Iron Horse Park June 8.

The crowd erupts as Daughtry band members take a final bow at the conclusion of the June 8 concert at Iron Horse Park.

A city tradition for 52 years, pancakes and eggs are cooked by about 90 Soldiers who’ve been on site for hours. It’s a family event enjoyed by crowds sitting on hay bales and listening to The Durango Drifters. There are plenty of activities for the youngsters. The breakfast is a kick-off for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, which is in Norris-Penrose Stadium July 11-14. Pikes Peak Range Riders leave from the breakfast site to begin a five-day horseback ride around the area to promote the rodeo. Tickets are $5 on site; children under 5 eat free. Photo by Nel Lampe

If there was a sport, he was playing it because it was pretty much all that could get him off the farm, he said. What is your favorite moment in sports? My senior year of high school we were picked to finish fifth, out of six teams, in our district and we ended up winning the district and going on to the state championship. It was the first time that (the) rugby (team from that high school) had ever been to the state championship. What would you consider your favorite professional sports moment? That would be in 1991 when Dan Gladden of the Minnesota Twins slid across home plate and scored the winning run against the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. That is still, without a doubt, my favorite sports moment. What haven’t you done in sports but wish you could do? I would like to win a championship. We won the spring term of this year, but before that every team I’ve ever played on has gotten as far as runner-up but never a championship. I have been on the runner-up team twice in softball but never won a championship. If you could play professionally what sport would you want to play? Baseball would be the game I would like to play. I have always had a passion for the game because of the technical (aspect) — a lot of thinking, but it is also just as much about your mental makeup as it is your physical makeup. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that … I’m a big guy so when people see me they automatically first think of me as a sports player. I think they would be surprised to know that I read a lot of books and I watch the game show “Jeopardy” every night.

Story and photos by Nel Lampe Mountaineer staff

Every summer for 36 years, people in Colorado have the opportunity to return to the Middle Ages via the Colorado Renaissance Festival. Forget the Diamond Jubilee in London, King Henry has been on the throne in the Kingdom of Larkspurshire for more than 500 years. King Henry invites all his royal subjects to join him and the royal family in merrymaking in the medieval-style village north of Colorado Springs near Larkspur at Exit 172 Saturday-Sunday for eight weekends, rain or shine. The Kingdom of Larkspurshire is a permanent village made up of medieval-style shops, stores, food stands, bars, bakeries, stages and carts. It’s in an uneven, wooded area and can be a long walk from one end of the village to the other. The village is filled with revelers, musicians, damsels, jesters, shopkeepers, knights, troubadours, artisans, food sellers and wannabes, all making merry and speaking Old English. Spending a day at the Renaissance Festival is not only fun, it’s educational. Visitors learn about times, culture and costumes of the 16th century. The marketplace is filled with artisans selling their wares that have a 16th century influence — swords, sandals, boots, toy swords and pieces of armor. Medieval-style clothing is available as well as ribbon headpieces. Many of the “subjects” that respond to King Henry’s invitation arrive in their best medieval clothing. Got a kilt? Wear it, or rent one at the Costumer’s Shop just outside the village entrance. Fit in with the crowd and get in the spirit. Entertainment is medieval style — sword swallowers, comedians, music groups, acrobats, a hypnotist , and an escape artist. Pick up a village map at the entrance. The village’s eight stages

are listed at the top and bottom of the map available at the entrance and the acts and showtimes are listed for each stage. Acts include festival favorites Puke and Snot, masters of double entendre; the bawdy Washing Well Wenches; Arsene of Paris, who entertains without uttering a word and is a master of the withering look. And there’s the jousting. Knights on their trusty steeds compete against each other as the royal family watches. The commoners gather around the arena to cheer on their favorite knight. There are three tournament events, with the tournament of skill at 11:30 a.m., a tournament of arms at 2:30 p.m. and the trial by combat at 5:30 p.m. The Renaissance Festival has a theme for each week. Theme weekends include Saturday- Sunday — Royal Ale and Art Festival, Father’s Day and Military Appreciation Weekend.
