Rosemary Mosco Dancing Crane Shirts

Celebrate the spirit of the Monte Vista Crane Festival with this year’s official long sleeve shirt featuring a joyful “dancing crane” illustration by acclaimed cartoonist and naturalist Rosemary Mosco, our keynote speaker. Inspired by the playful courtship displays of Sandhill Cranes in the San Luis Valley, this design captures movement, personality, and the magic of crane season. Printed locally by J&D Ultimate Printing–Embroidering in Center, CO, these shirts are soft, comfortable, and perfect for crisp March mornings in the Valley. The warm sunset backdrop and bold festival lettering make this a standout piece you’ll reach for long after the cranes have migrated north. Available in tan and olive, this limited-edition shirt is both a keepsake and a way to support the festival and the conservation mission it represents. Wear it proudly — and maybe practice your crane dance while you’re at it.
