Jonas lives in a perfect world with no war, fear, pain, or choices. But when Jonas turns 12, he is chosen for special training from The Giver, the keeper of all society’s memories. His time with The Giver allows him to learn the truth about life and to discover what it means to grow up, grow wise, and take control of his own destiny. Based on the Newbery Award-winning books by Lois Lowry
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!
