Please join us for a one-of-a-kind performance by the Creede Repertory Theatre from 9-9:45 am at the Gunnison Library on Wednesday, March 20. This 25 minute show is designed for our youngest learners (ages 5 and under). About the performance: ROY G BIV Written by Brittni Shambaugh Addison Directed by Jenni Harbour Jee is an Artist. Jee LOVES the color Green. Jee paints green SQUARES, green CIRCLES, and even green SQUIRCLES! But when a new artist comes to share Jee’s space, his world is turned upside down, as he is introduced to all colors of the rainbow.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
