TEENS! Join us at 3pm on Wednesday, April 10 at the Gunnison Library for an 80s Murder Mystery themed Escape Room! The year is 1985. A new arcade has opened in town and everyone is there for the opening day. Yet, as the ribbon is cut, someone winds up dead. It is up to you to search the arcade and to interview the suspects. You need to find out whodunit, why, and how before you become the next victim…Wear your raddest 80s gear to solve this mystery! Snacks and tunes provided, ages 10-18 welcome.
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!
