Join us at the Gunnison Library on Thursday, March 23 at 5:30 pm for this month’s library crafting session in Gunnison. For March’s craft we’ll be making vintage-style felt pennant flags. All materials are provided and this session is free and open to all. Projects are intended for teens and adults but those who are younger than 12 may attend with someone in the intended age group. Please RSVP to ellen-at-gunnisoncountylibraries-dot-org
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!
