Have you hiked our Colorado 14ers? Or, maybe thinking about hiking a 14er and want to be more prepared? The Alpine Rescue Team will give you insight on some of the ins & outs of how to successfully and safely hike our tallest peaks, whether you have hiked them all or not yet hiked any of our 14ers. What should you bring? Do you know how to read the weather? What about if you get lost or hurt…what do you do then? Alpine Rescue Team will help prepare you for your 14er adventure, as well as provide perspective from the rescuer’s point of view, and how best to be assisted in case you have a bad day in the mountains.

7:30PM OPENING NIGHT for Fairfield at Miners Alley Playhouse.
“Peace. Love. Respect for all.” So goes the motto of Fairfield Elementary, a public school located in a diverse, liberal district. But when a young teacher’s misguided attempts at celebrating Black History Month take a hilariously dark turn, chaos erupts and it seems it may be impossible to safely reach the ‘CelebrEthnic Potluck.’ Fairfield is a razor-sharp, insightful comedy from Cleveland playwright Eric Coble that examines how we each determine what’s appropriate and inappropriate, and whether “We Shall Overcome.”
Stay for the Opening Night After Party, and partake of the free buffet!
