Elliot Colchamiro conducts tours at the “Holocaust Documentation & Education Center” in Dania Beach, Florida where he has transcribed to text more than two dozen Holocaust testimonies. Elliot will discuss the history of the Greek Jews from antiquity until the present time, including the murder of 87% of the Jews of Greece during the holocaust. His presentation includes pictures, videos and music. It is based on his research as well as his personal knowledge of the subject.
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!
