    Jon Sheppard  April 1st-15th, 2019

    Jon Sheppard says he has always been addicted to adventure. He has written award winning books in which he shares insights, stories and his photography. During his many adventures, he has dived for sunken treasure, jumped out of high flying planes, run a rock climbing school, taught kayaking, been a whitewater rafting guide, and learned to ski when he moved to the Colorado high country. He and two friends have raised over $20,000 for the Disabled Ski Team by skiing eighteen different ski areas in one, very long day, which is also a world record. He has played the drums in the country music world and worked for many years in television production as a camera man. Those adventures, his travels and his past work experiences have combined to give him a keen eye when photographing life around him.

    Books 'n' Bites - “All grown up” by Jami Attenberg

    Category: Adults Books 'n' Bites - “All grown up” by Jami Attenberg


    April 9, 2019

    Who is Andrea Bern? When her therapist asks the question, Andrea knows the right things to say: she’s a designer, a friend, a daughter, a sister. But it’s what she leaves unsaid—she’s alone, a drinker, a former artist, a shrieker in bed, captain of the sinking ship that is her flesh—that feels the most true. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult: her best friend, Indigo, is getting married; her brother—who miraculously seems unscathed by their shared tumultuous childhood—and sister-in-law are having a hoped-for baby; and her friend Matthew continues to wholly devote himself to making dark paintings at the cost of being flat broke. But when Andrea’s niece finally arrives, born with a heartbreaking ailment, the Bern family is forced to reexamine what really matters. Will this drive them together or tear them apart?

    Told in gut-wrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, All Grown Up is a breathtaking display of Jami Attenberg’s power as a storyteller, a whip-smart examination of one woman’s life, lived entirely on her own terms.

    Category: Adults Evenings of Engagement with Dave Lively - "WHO WAS THE SCULPTOR IN BUCKSKIN?"


    April 24, 2019

    Dave Lively is a dynamic speaker who specializes in shining light on hidden narratives.

    Dave is a well-known local historian, Certified Interpretive Guide, and Certified Tour Guide with unsurpassed knowledge and passion for the region and is committed to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.

    Let Dave introduce you to "WHO WAS THE SCULPTOR IN BUCKSKIN?"-  a man who was so much more than a sculptor and artist. After spending much of his youth hunting and sketching in the Colorado mountain wilderness of the 1870s, Alexander Phimister Proctor’s talents took him throughout the U.S. and on to Paris and Rome. He was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, incurable wanderer, and confidant to many prominent figures of his day. Proctor was deeply revered as both America’s premier animal sculptor and an unfailingly warm and enthusiastic human being.
