EVRC Everyday Estes Riverside Chat: Memorial Day

Description

The Everyday Estes podcast is part of an initiative of the Estes Valley Resiliency Collaborative to provide a platform for connection within the community. Originally imagined as a TED Talk-like event held at Performance Park, a podcast format was implemented as a COVID-gap measure to start the storytelling process until a live format was safe. 
 
With COVID restrictions easing, Everyday Estes is set to go live with Everyday Estes – Riverside Chat this summer. The EVRC is planning five live events at Performance Park. Each event will focus on a theme and invite five community members to speak to the theme for five minutes then answer audience questions for five minutes. Speakers will be recruited by Estes-area nonprofit partners. The series will be family friendly.
 
Chats are scheduled from 5-7 p.m. June 1, July 13, August 3, September 7, and October 5 at Performance Park. Topics include Stories around Memorial Day, Why I Love America, The Art of Living, It’s Why We Live Here and Estes Park Heroes. 

June 1: Memorial Day is a day reserved to honor those lost in service to our country. We feel there's no better way to tell their stories than through our veterans. Thanks to the American Legion for partnering with the Estes Valley Resiliency Collaborative to recruit five amazing stories.
