Huzzah for the Highland Rogues!

The Highland Rogues workshop for the Mesa County Libraries Reading Program Clifton Branch made crew history — 82 participants last week!

Last year at this same location, we had ten brave souls (half of them family of the library staff). This year? The community showed up in force! Proof that our workshops, our outreach, and our marketing are striking true.

From cannon fire to community spirit, the Rogues are doing something right — and the Grand Valley is answering the call.

Here’s to every volunteer, every reader, and every spark of imagination that keeps our sails full.

We’re not just growing — we’re thriving. Huzzah!! See you some of you on Saturday at Central.

We got a call asking if we could organize, host, and officiate a pirate wedding. The moment we learned it was for a terminal patient who wanted to marry the love of his life after 42 years, we didn’t even blink.

Yesterday was powerful. Tears, stories, laughter—so much life in one morning. He was surrounded by his kids; the Rogues (Mace, Surgeon, Toes, Just Samm, Squatch, and Red—who officiated the ceremony); Alicia, who lives next door to Red and Sinister and is also his social worker; Kanani the woman who called us —now christened Black Hat; Sienna Hayes and several members of the Avant Guard Performance Troupe, who filled the space with music, red ch*****ne and gifted the couple with rum; and of course, the blushing bride, Dee. He spoke openly about his journey, and the love on that riverbank was unmistakable.

The ceremony had everything: a sword arc, a water blessing, a message in a bottle gift presentation, and an honorary crew induction. Mace even gifted his sword to the groom.

This is exactly why we fight to keep this crew thriving and community‑centered. With less than 24 hours, we created something unforgettable.

Photo dump soon.

Happy Easter, from the Highland Rogues of the Grand Valley
