The 20th Anniversary Devereux Polo Cup, a thrilling match featuring some of the region’s best polo players. The event will also include free food, beverages, music, half time entertainment, and an air show.

Garfield County’s deep history with polo dates back to the 1890s when Hotel Colorado founder Walter Devereux and Hervey Lyle, both championship players, formed the Glenwood Polo and Racing Association. The Hotel Colorado, which was completed in 1893, featured its own polo grounds for the use of the guests and quickly gained a national reputation for hosting world-class hosting teams. The Glenwood Springs team captured the World Championship in 1903, 1904 and 1912.

Larry MacDonald, the General Manager of Hotel Colorado, and Barry Stout, owner of the Roaring Fork Polo Club and Stout Ranch, paid tribute to the sport’s deep roots in the region by reviving the Rocky Mountain Polo Championship in 2004 as the Devereux Cup.

This year’s competition will pit Team Land Rover Roaring Fork against Team Hotel Colorado. The event will also include free food, beverages, music, half time entertainment, and an air show. Cash donations will be collected on site to support the New Castle Historic Museum. Donors will receive a 20th Anniversary Polo Poster.
