The annual Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association Awards Gala was a throwback to the “me decade,” complete with big hair, puffy shoulder dresses, parachute pants, air guitar players, moonwalkers, cassette tapes and boom boxes for a 1980s prom-themed party at the Hotel Colorado on Saturday, Feb. 4.

Here’s a look back at some of the fun.
