Cookbook Club: Misunderstood Vegetables
As part of our extended programming from the Crested Butte Wine + Food Festival, Cookbook Club is back with a playful twist! We’re cooking from Misunderstood Vegetables by Becky Selenguta a celebration of the quirky, overlooked gems of the produce aisle. From kohlrabi to sunchokes, these recipes will spark ideas for creative, flavor-packed Thanksgiving side dishes. Pick up a copy at Townie Books or borrow ours, sign up for a dish, and bring your veggie-forward creation to share. We’ll set the table and pour the wine, come discover new flavors and connect with fellow food lovers!
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
