Photos: Here's What Planet Bluegrass Looks Like Today, Eight Months After The Flood

It is what it looked like six months ago, we can assure you.

Planet Bluegrass is a place that has a special significance, not only for fans - queuing days before time for the annual festival of the hacienda RockyGrass - but the artists who play there. In part this is due to its location: Beside a wall of the cliff and the St. Vrain River in Lyons.

But, of course, which laid the foundations of several meters under water last fall, when the historic flood surpassed much of the city. You can see how it was on September 12 in a series of videos on YouTube - We have incorporated a continuation.

But now, eight months after the flood, the place is half way through a massive reconstruction. It will hold its regular music festivals and private events program this year. We went to see the progress which earlier this week and took some photos to show. There is still a long way to go, but Planet Bluegrass looks to be ready for the thousands of people who already have tickets for RockyGrass in late July.

When the floods came last year, the main channels of water flowing through the entire facility, destroying several buildings and other seriously harmful. 

The water rose so suddenly that Planet Bluegrass, an organization that runs the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, in addition to the events on his own property, lost most of their equipment from computers to memorabilia to develop audio settings.

Still, due to ticket sales for festivals are as strong as or stronger than they have been, the place will survive. There are still plenty of other businesses and residents of Lyons who need more help, financial and logistical; Planet Bluegrass asks that anyone interested in contributing to these efforts are directed to the website of Lyons fights where you can find various opportunities for giving and volunteering. You can also contribute to the Lyons Community Foundation.

The reconstructed area in front of the stage has fewer trees and now has a slight degree of improve sight lines.

The Wildflower Pavilion had to be completely rebuilt. Has moved a couple of meters away from the river.

The massive concrete silo survived, like two trees growing within it.
