Icebreakers “The Valley of Fools Clown” Troupe Show Friday, January 31st – Show 7:00 pm. Saturday, February 1st – Shows at 2:00 & 7:00 pm. Doors open 30 min prior to curtain. In The Valley of Fools, a Clown troupe of society’s misfits takes the stage, not just to make you laugh but to reveal the raw, vulnerable truths of the human experience. These clown’s cant help but show up exactly as they are – flawed, real, and honest, even if it gets them into trouble. With every stumble, slip, and hilarious mistake, they hold up a mirror to society, inviting us to laugh at ourselves and maybe learn something along the way. Bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a love of laughter as The Valley of Fools invites you on a journey that’s as heartwarming as it is hilarious! TICKETS: $20/adults, $18/members. $12/kids, $10/kids member.
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!
