The band shell at the corner of Canyon Boulevard and Broadway

s Boulder has grown, so has the Boulder Creek Festival.

What started out as a small, creek-cleaning get-together has evolved into a five-stage, 500-booth, three-day extravaganza over Memorial Day Weekend that’s as unique as the community itself.

“It’s the quintessential Boulder event,” says Meg Denbow, director of communications for Boulder Creek Events. “It truly represents the Boulder community.”

It represents the Boulder community because it’s been tailored, over the years, based on feedback from residents and attendees.

Denbow says last year she received an email from an attendee who couldn’t find the lists of performances on the website — this year, that’s been fixed.

“I could give dozens of examples like that, but the main point is that we do evolve with the community,” Denbow says.

That evolution has led them to a family-oriented but adult-friendly event that includes carnival rides, performances, and food and drink.

The Boulder Creek Festival starts Saturday, May 28, at 10 a.m., and is hard to miss — it extends from 9th Street to 14th Street along Boulder Creek, between Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe Avenue.

The event is free to attend, and that includes concerts at all five stages: The band shell at the corner of Canyon Boulevard and Broadway, the Festival Stage, the Community Dance Stage, the Kids Stage and the Teen Stage.

“There’s something for everyone,” Denbow says. “Whether you’ve got a small family or you’re a teen-

by Chelsea Long ager, you’ll find something to do: carnival rides, a juried art show and more Boulder-related things like outdoor adventures and technology.”

There are also more than 70 nonprofit organizations represented in booths throughout the festival, and the annual Duck Race is held as a benefit for EXPAND and the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation program, which provides recreational opportunities for children, youth and adults with disabilities. This, and other opportunities for nonprofits, are made possible because the Festival is not a corporate event, nor focused on profits.

“It’s not the Boulder Creek Festival sponsored by Qwest,” Denbow says. “We could make more money by raising prices, but we don’t want to do that. We want nonprofit organizations to attend. It’s not about making money; it’s about

making the community proud of their festival.”

The community can also be proud of the steps the festival is taking to become more eco-friendly.

Since its inception, Boulder Creek Festival has made recycling a priority, and organizers stepped that up last year. Boulder Creek Events chose to require one of the food courts to have only compostable materials. This year, both food courts will be zero-waste.

“Ninety percent of the trash comes from the food court,” Denbow says. “Next year, we’re hoping to make the carnival rides and stages zero-waste as well. It’s one step at a time.”

The food courts will have around 50 vendors, with healthy options as well as the more traditional festival fare. There will also be two beer gardens, which will serve Boulder Beer,

Barefoot Wine and margaritas.

It’s an event that combines food, music and entertainment specifically for the Boulder community. After almost a quarter of a century, Boulder residents find it hard to imagine summer in Boulder starting without it.

“It’s an absolute blast,” Denbow says. “It’s going to be so much fun. You can basically expect the unexpected.”

Other summer events by Boulder Creek Events include Rhythm on the Rails, Twenty Ninth Street LIVE! and the Boulder Creek Hometown Fair.

Rhythm on the Rails is held in Niwot every Thursday night, starting June 9. It features live music in a neighborhood atmosphere. Saturday nights in Boulder feature entertainment as well, with the Twenty Ninth Street LIVE! concert series, which kicks off June 11 and contiues through Aug. 13.

And the sibling of the Boulder Creek Festival is the Hometown Fair. It’s held over Labor Day, the bookend to the summer at Boulder Creek. The Hometown Fair is in its 13th year, and boasts a Chili Cookoff and the Great Zucchini Race.

Later in the year, be sure to check out the Longmont Oktoberfest taking place in Roosevelt Park Sept.

9-11. And when the winter winds start blowing again, taking a few turns on the ice rink at WinterSkate will keep you warm. There are two rinks, one at the Flatiron Crossing mall and another in downtown Louisville.

Rowing at the Boulder Reservoir

Touring through time around Boulder

by Elizabeth Miller

Y

ou know the Hotel Boulderado must be historic, and you’ve probably even (and rightly) suspected that the Dairy Center for the Arts has a history as a functioning dairy before it was an arts center.

But here area a few places you might not have considered visiting that have captured some of Boulder’s history, and a tidbit or two about places you may have thought about frequenting.

We’ll start with the less likely tour hotspot — except at Halloween.

“It’s funny because you think of historic preservation organizations being just about buildings, but the cemetery is a wonderful cultural resource,” says Abby Daniels, executive director of Historic Boulder Inc., which guides tours through the

Columbia Cemetery, also known as Pioneer Cemetery.

“It really is a who’s who of Boulder, and tells a lot of the stories,” Daniels says.

The cemetery was established in 1870 by Masons, passed to city of Boulder ownership in 1966, and landmarked in 1977. Preservation efforts began in the 1990s.

“Some of the monuments and markers are works of art themselves,” Daniels says.

Historic Boulder was created in 1972 when three historic buildings, the Highland School, the UnionPacific Railroad Depot and the Central School, were threatened with destruction. The depot and the Highland School were both preserved. The school is now used as offices, and the depot, relocated to a spot near Pearl Street and 30th Street, will become part of the RTD station when the FastTracks rail proj-

ect is completed.

The organization has worked with creating historic districts in town, and is currently restoring a private home, the Hannah Barker House, built in 1875.

“What’s interesting about the Hannah Barker House is that you have the original house built in 1875; it’s a wonderful example of the Italianate style house and a really good example of the middle class here in Boulder at that time,” Daniels says.

Hannah Barker immigrated from Ireland, traveled across the West with the Davidson family (Davidson Mesa east of Boulder is named for them), and became one of the first female school teachers in Ward before moving to Boulder. She met and married Ezra Barker, who died just six years after their marriage. Their house, which Daniels says is one of the oldest buildings in Boulder, stands at

what is now 800 Arapahoe Ave. “I think that historic homes contribute greatly, not just to the streetscape — and not just in Boulder, but in any community — to a sense of place in the community,” Daniels says. “I think historic buildings, whether they’re a private home or a school, or some of the businesses on Pearl Street, I think it just gives us a real sense of our heritage and what came before us.”

After Ezra died, Hannah took over management of his landholdings and money.

“She really was very, very generous with her money,” Daniels says.

Some of the recipients of Hannah’s donations are now historic landmarks, including the Columbia Cemetery, the University of Colorado and Chautauqua.

Summer Scene ’11 Boulder Weekly

Colorado offers many opportunities for car-camping.

I

n the good old days, back in the ’70s, you could just drive your Toyota Land Cruiser and your Coors beer into the Colorado backwoods, find a nice meadow beside a creek, and pitch your tent for the weekend.

Now, it’s a bit harder to camp in the summer without reserving a choice spot a year in advance at a developed campground where you have running water and bathrooms. You have to pay like $10 a night, keep your tent on the assigned pad, and hope your neighboring campers aren’t too close and don’t blare their music.

We know, we know, there are sound environmental reasons for not having everybody building firepits wherever they want and scarring the earth, but we kind of miss the old days when you could find a secluded spot, free of charge, and not get nasty looks from the campground host when you tie your hammock between two trees. And yes, shelling out cash for this cause is a lot more palatable than giving it to, say, the IRS, but still.

The women in the audience surely appreciate having facilities nearby so that they don’t have to cop a squat behind some bushes, but it just seems wrong on principle to enjoy the great outdoors with most of the amenities of home, including a picnic table and grill. What happened to roughing it? Leave that to the backpackers, apparently.

Some people even park their RVs at these campgrounds so that they can enjoy the great outdoors with their satellite TVs, couches and microwaves.

Whether you like to camp as an old-school purist or in a pampering pop-up, Colorado has a

by Jefferson Dodge vast array of options when it comes to hitting the hills for a couple of nights. Yes, you will need to reserve a campsite well in advance at the more popular spots when it is summertime, but if you play your cards right, you can scope out the best tent pads in advance, make a reservation a year ahead of time, and not have to worry about whether you will find an available spot when you get there.

Unless you like camping in the baking heat of the flatlands, in Boulder County one of your best bets for car-camping is to head for the Peakto-Peak Highway, which cruises through the mountains between Estes Park and the gambling towns. There are several campgrounds off of this scenic byway, including Camp Dick, Peaceful Valley, Olive Ridge and Kelly-Dahl. Buckingham Campground is also nearby, just west of Eldora, and is a good springboard for hiking.

The nice thing about car-camping is you can bring your mountain bike, fly rod, kayak, canoe, climbing shoes or hiking boots and head out from base camp for daytime adventures.

For those who want to expand their camping horizons beyond Boulder County, Colorado is a giant outdoors playground. Check out the Cache

La Poudre canyon west of Fort Collins, the Collegiate Peaks near Buena Vista, Summit County or the Steamboat Springs area. If you’re up for a six-hour drive, arguably the most gorgeous area of the state is the southwest corner, and there are plenty of campgrounds around Pagosa Springs, Durango, Silverton, Ouray and Telluride.

There are many websites that can be helpful when you are planning your camping excursion.

GoCampingAmerica.com is offering a 20 percent discount on fees at participating campgrounds from June 1 to June 25, in honor of National Great Outdoors Month. Another valuable online resource is www.campcolorado.com, and you can book your sites online at www.reserveamerica. com.

Or take your chances, grab the Coors, head west and see if you can still find one of those free secluded spots by a creek.

Steve Martin

T

here’s more than one way to tell the seasons are changing. Even without warmer weather and school vacations, the sudden crop of folk and bluegrass festivals springing up are a dead giveaway that summer is coming.

The history of bluegrass music is a long and storied one in these parts, and generations of Coloradans have grown up going to some of the most famous festivals in the world. This year, we welcome back some old favorites — Bluegrass on the River is in its 22nd year, the venerable Telluride Bluegrass Festival is turning 38, and RockyGrass is pushing 40. There are plenty of newcomers to the festival scene, too, meaning we music lovers have our pick of great music, food and fun all season long.

22nd Annual Bluegrass on the River

June 3-5 Greenway Nature Center 5200 Nature Center Road Pueblo For the 22nd year, Pueblo residents and visitors can enjoy some of the best bluegrass music in a beautiful setting: Pueblo’s Nature & Raptor Center.

Located on the banks of the Arkansas River, this is a perfect venue for kicking back, relaxing and taking in three days’ worth of great music, including performers like Long Road Home, Fireweed and Stray Grass.

And while it might be a bit of a drive for a lot of Boulderites, the deal can’t be beat. Tickets are $35 for a three-day weekend pass (only $6 for kids’ passes!), and single-day passes are available as well. Visit www.naturean-

toned down between the hours of 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. We recommend earplugs for those of you who would like to sleep in the campgrounds — this is a picking festival.” Picking circles all day and night? Hootin’ and hollerin’ 19 hours a day? A great line-up and on-site camping? We’re sold! The fun kicks off Friday, June 3, with a free concert at Pagosa Springs Town Park and continues through the weekend with workshops, kids activities and — of course — great bluegrass and folk music. And if you really want to get geared up for the festival, consider attending the Pagosa Bluegrass Camp, May 31 to June 2. It’s tailored to intermediate-level bluegrass pickers and guaranteed to be loads of fun.

June 16-19 Telluride Skiing isn’t the only reason to make the drive to Telluride. Celebrating its 38th year, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival once again coincides with the Summer Solstice — the longest day of the year, the beginning of summer, a full moon and great bluegrass. It doesn’t get much better, does it? And if all of that isn’t enough to convince you this is bluegrass paradise on earth, just check out this year’s line-up. Robert Plant, Béla Fleck, Emmylou Harris and Sarah McLachlan are just some of the big names that will be gracing the valley this year, along with The Decemberists, Yonder Mountain String Band and the Emmit-Nershi Band.

If you didn’t get your tickets early — and we mean early — then you’d better know a guy who knows a guy, because this year tickets sold out faster than just about any other in festival history. Keep your fingers crossed, though: According to festival organizers, there’s a slim chance that a few returned tickets will be made available closer to the show dates.

EMU Eco Music Festival

June 30 to July 3 Snowmass The first-ever EMU Eco Music Festival is quite possibly the first of its kind, too. Designed to bring together entertainment, adventure and environmental awareness, this festival offers a long weekend of great music and events.

What is it that makes EMU different from — and greener than — other festivals? For starters, for every ticket sold, EMU will plant one tree, offsetting an estimated 1.2 million pounds of carbon dioxide. Additionally, all of the specially designed festival tents are 100 percent sustainably produced, all plates and utensils used at the event will be biodegradable, and festival-goers can take part in a 3K vertical race to help raise money for environmental programming in local schools.

Colorado festival favorite Leftover Salmon is scheduled to play, along with RJD2 and Perpetual Groove. Check out www.emufestival.com for an updated list of bands, more information and tickets.

Eager festival-goers snapped up these tickets in nearrecord time, and looking at the lineup, it’s no wonder. How often do you get to see Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) on stage showing off his impressive banjo chops? And since it’s in Lyons, this is also one of the most convenient festivals for county residents.

Other can’t-miss acts this year include the David Grisman Blues Experience, Henhouse Prowlers and Hot Rize. Camping is available nearby, and in addition to the musical entertainment, you can stretch your legs with some hiking, mountain biking and rafting.

Chautauqua Auditorium 900 Baseline Road, Boulder

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were the comedic giants of the silent film era, and this summer, the Chautauqua Silent Film Series is honoring both. Keaton was known for his stone-faced deadpan humor, while Chaplin won acclaim for the slapstick antics of characters like the Tramp.

Check out both of these legends and see which one you prefer.

This season offers a number of Chaplin classics, including four of his classic comedic shorts: The Fireman, The Count, The Pawnshop and One A.M. The General, Buster Keaton’s most wellknown film — and one of the greatest Civil War films of all time — kicks off the series on June 11.
