The first winner drawn will choose one of two extraordinary prizes:

Option 1: A Week in Four Corners Country*

Enjoy a one-week stay at the Retro Inn at Mesa Verde in Cortez, Colorado - a classic basecamp for exploring the Southwest’s most iconic landscapes: Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients, Monument Valley, and the San Juan National Forest.

This unforgettable getaway includes two restaurant certificates, a $25 certificate to WildEdge Brewery, two rental bikes from Kokopelli Bike & Board to explore local trails, two tickets for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a behind-the-scenes visit to the Montezuma Heritage Museum, and a personalized archaeological tour with Cory Breternitz, a regional archaeologist with decades of experience across the Four Corners.

World-class hiking, archaeology, biking, and dark skies — all included!

Option 2: Authentic Hand-Woven Navajo Weaving*

Choose a stunning 26” x 44” Ganado Red Navajo rug, hand-woven by Annie White using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This piece, valued at $900, is more than décor—it’s a living expression of cultural knowledge, history, and artistry from the Four Corners region.

*The second winner will receive the remaining prize.
