Libraries, independent bookstores celebrated in April
FRONT RANGE The month of April is the perfect time to celebrate the role of local libraries and independent bookstores. April 8-14, is National Library Week, an annual celebration of the lifechanging work of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries aren’t just places to borrow books or study— they’re also creative and engaging community centers where people can collaborate using new technologies and develop their skills and passions.
Libraries of all types have long been evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. Diverse groups including elected officials, small business owners and students depend upon libraries and the resources they offer. Resources like e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners and programs for job seekers are just a few ways libraries and librarians are transforming to lead their communities. Take time to discover your local
library and its offerings. Georgetown, Idaho Springs, Gilpin County, Nederland, Lyons and Estes Park all have their own public libraries. Independent Bookstore Day is a one-day national party at independent bookstores on the last Saturday in April. Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park celebrates, April 28 from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., with prizes, author visits and giveaways. Other local stores include Blue Owl Books in Nederland.

To reduce these impacts, the order restricts use between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., including parking, camping and campfires www.mmacmonthly.com
in undesignated areas within a quartermile of Guanella Pass Road, portions of Leavenworth Road and all of Silver Dollar Lake Road. Visitors may still camp and have campfires in one of five developed campgrounds along the road corridor, including 70 developed campsites and 30 designated dispersed sites; park in designated parking areas at any time; hike the Mount Bierstadt Trail at any time; backpack out of the restricted area to camp; and use the area during
non-restricted times for parking, picnicking, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and viewing wildlife. Dispersed camping is allowed across most of the National Forest. A good resource for finding dispersed camping that’s easily accessible by road is to check the Motor Vehicle Use Map.

Music ‘Music industry holiday’
supports independent record stores
R
Sgt. Peppers Music & Video in Estes Park participates in Record Store Day annually. Photo by Jeffrey V. Smith
ecord Store Day—the third Saturday of April—has become the music industry’s biggest holiday. The special day is set aside for staff, customers and artists to celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently-owned stores play in their communities. It’s also when fans can acquire from their favorite musicians recording exclusives, archival reissues, rarities, limited releases and various promotional products made exclusively for the day. Take part in the celebration, April 21, at Sgt. Peppers Music & Video in Estes Park—the only remaining independent record store in the Front Range foothills. Several record stores in the metro area and elsewhere in Colorado are also participating. Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding independently owned record stores in the US and similar stores internationally. There are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica. In this age of digital downloads and streaming radio, corporate-owned record stores have all but disappeared. Independent music retailers, however—thanks to a renewed interest in vinyl records and the efforts of Record Store Day—have experienced a bit of a resurgence in recent years. Record stores in general, though, can still be a rare sight, even in the largest cities let alone a small mountain town. The populous metro area is home to a handful of music buying options, but Estes Park’s Sgt. Peppers Music & Video makes sure its nearby mountain residents and visitors are supplied with great tunes. Ryan Hoover, manager of Sgt. Peppers, eagerly awaits the annual event. “We participate in Record Store Day because it is our day, it’s like asking a mom why she participates in Mother’s Day,” he said. “Even being a small store, not a busy time a year, and not having a overwhelming local response, it is still the one day set aside for the local independent record store. It is a day to celebrate what we are as a store and what we are part of on a larger level. Also, whether we sell the items right now or much later, it is cool to get them in and we always sell them at some point.” Many stores have signed the Record Store Day Pledge, which means they have agreed to act in the spirit of Record Store Day and sell the commercial Record Store Day releases to their physical customers on Record Store Day. Locally, these include Sgt. Peppers Music & Video in Estes Park, Bart’s Record Shop and Albums on the Hill in Boulder, Recycled Records LP in Longmont, Downtown Sound in Loveland, Rock ‘n’ Robin’s and The Bizarre Bazaar in Fort Collins, Affordable Music in Dillon, Angelo’s CDs & Records in Wheat Ridge and Denver and Black & Read, Twist & Shout, and Wax Trax Records in Denver.

Randomly-assembled bands perform in benefit
JAMESTOWN Jamestown Area Musicians presents its 11th “Band in a Hat” event, April 14 at 6 p.m., in the Jamestown Town Hall.

Each
“band” has seven weeks to create a half-hour set of original or cover tunes, poetry, comedy, or whatever the act’s members invent. Organizers call it “one of the most unique performances you will ever see.” This year, there are three randomly-chosen bands and one large Kids’ Band. The audience members are encouraged to wear their “goofiest or classiest” hat for a chance to win a prize in the Hat Contest. Jamestown Town Hall is located at 118 Main St. To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/JamestownJAM or e-mail jamforthearts@gmail.com.

NOTEWORTHY Kyle Hollingsworth - 50
A
cclaimed keyboardist and composer Kyle Hollingsworth, best known for his work with The String Cheese Incident, released his fourth solo studio album, 50, on March 2 via SCI Fidelity. On 50, Hollingsworth commemorates his 50th birthday, which was on the same day as the release date, reflecting on the various aspects and milestones of his life while shining a spotlight on his continual evolution as an artist. Written and recorded over a period of a year and a half, Hollingsworth collaborated on 50 for the first time in the studio with his current band lineup, stretching the creative process more so than previous solo releases. “We were able to explore and work together as a unit versus the other albums, where I would just bring them the songs and they would perform them as I told them to,” Hollingsworth said. “I was able to be a lot more creative in the studio with my current lineup of musicians. I would show up with a smattering of ideas and say, ‘I think this is what’s gonna happen,’ and we’d sit down and knock out three or four songs together.” Hollingsworth also called on special guest musicians and vocalists to join him on 50. While writing the album, Hollingsworth envisioned specific musicians on certain songs and instrumentations. On “Finding Our Way,” Andy Hall of The Infamous String Dusters played dobro, while on the Motown-inspired “All Falls Apart” Hollingsworth called on The Motet Horns, and Jen Hartswick leant vocals to “Come On.” Other special guests on the album include DJ Logic, Jason Hann, Kim Dawson, Darren Kramer, Paige Sandusky and Tanya Shylock. Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Those who’ve seen The String Cheese Incident know they can change from funk to bluegrass on a chord change. “In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we’re not afraid to move in and out of genres,” he says, “and because of that I’ve learned to be creative, not only on stage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to,” Hollingsworth said.

Reality & Imagination
ildlife artist and fantasy illustrator Heather Carr displays her expressive and “alluring” work at the Gilpin County Public Library, April 7-May 31. The “Wild Imaginarium” art show features a range of her two styles, which have won her awards and accolades. “[The show] is essentially the merging of two worlds by one artist. Bringing art and science, reality and imagination, together to create wildlife art as well as fantasy art,” Carr said. “I love both the wildlife and fantasy genres and it is my sincere hope that my paintings inspire people to conserve and become educated about the natural world around them. In doing so, the creatures of today will not become the myths of tomorrow, preserved only by artists and authors within the pages of books.” Carr’s wildlife and illustrative works have won several awards and have shown at galleries in several states. She’s also created work for clients including Land Rover. The artist’s original creations can be viewed during operating hours at the Gilpin County Public Library, 15131 Hwy. 119. It is open Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m.8 p.m., Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Visit gilpinlibrary.org and straywolfstudios.com to learn more. Heather Carr

Gallery showcases colorful art By Jeffrey V. Smith CENTRAL CITY
Gilpin Arts’ current Visitor Center Showcase Gallery show, “Cathedral Of Color,” featuring the works of Donna Dannan, Gregg Harkenrider and Charles Hernandez, is currently on display through April. The show opened March 18 with a reception for the participating artists. “I like this show, it’s one of my favorites so far. It’s so colorful,” Gallery Manager Michele Roussel said. “This is a cheerful show.” Evergreen-based teacher and photographer Donna Dannen has several photographs on display featuring wildlife and wildflowers. She says her life involves the outdoors and photography and that she got into wildlife when she worked for the U.S. Park Service as a naturalist and lived in Estes Park for 30 years. “I am a wildlife-watcher and documenting what I see is the way I relive the interesting, lifechanging, ah-ha moments I record in word and image.” Dannen finds she currently has as much wildlife as she did in Estes Park and most of her images in the Gilpin Arts show are taken nearby her home at Evergreen Lake, Mount Evans and Waterton Canyon. “The animals are important to me and it’s been a long-time love affair with nature,” she said. Denver-area artist Gregg Harkenrider, who creates with glass, wood, metal and paint, is new to the gallery and recently joined the Gilpin County Arts Association board. He has several of his earlier glass works on display as well as some paintings he rarely hangs in the show. “I think the Gilpin County Arts Association is doing a great job,” he said. “I would go to their board meetings to volunteer for tasks, and last December they were like ‘you know, you’re here at every meeting, we just voted you in.’ It doesn’t really change anything, just makes it official. All of Harkenrider’s glass works on display begin as one solid sheet of glass. “Then you get big sheets of colored glass and you’ve got to know what shape you need. You pick out the colors and start cutting and fuse it all together,” he explained. Charles Hernandez, who is showing both jewelry and paintings, is also new to the gallery. “My first passion is jewelry,” he said. “I use real stone, turquoise, real opal, silver. Right now, I am doing 22K gold on charms. They are unisex, so everybody can wear them.” The artist began making jewelry because he was buying it and they were charging him $100, he explained. “I was like ‘this is crazy.’ I did a couple of pieces and the pieces… and people were like ‘can I buy that from you?’,” he said. In addition to several jewelry pieces on display, he chose to hang some blue colored paintings to go with one of his latest pieces, “Broken Wings,” which is hanging in the show. Hernandez says he works with polyurethanes in an attempt to make everything look like glass. “It was a long time coming,” he said. All artwork and jewelry displayed in the “Cathedral Of Color” show are available for purchase. The Showcase Gallery is located upstairs in the Visitors’ Center at 103 Eureka St. in Central City. Daily gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

ROLLINSVILLE The Peak to Peak Players, a recently formed group of Nederland-area and Gilpin County residents “with a desire to develop a theatre company in the area,” is well on its way toward that goal. Co-Artistic Directors Angela Hunt and Jacquelyn O’Brien—who both missed having THEATER a local theater company after moving to the mountain—already have auditions, performances and summer camps in the works. The group’s first public performance is “Broadway at the Brewery,” April 7 from 7-9 p.m. at the Very Nice Brewery. The free evening of Broadway songs is designed to learn about the group and includes complimentary hor d’oeuvres. Board members Angela Hunt, Jacquelyn O’Brien, and Crystal Zeilbeck perform with guest artists including Tony Award-winning Broadway performer Josh Franklin and professional performing artist John T. Wolfe. Auditions for the group’s first “mainstage musical” production, The Wizard of Oz, are open to ages seven and up and take place at the Stage Stop in Rollinsville, April 28 from noon-4 p.m. Call backs are April 29 from noon-4 p.m. Find a sign-up page for available audition time slots at signupgenius.com. Adults and kids should come prepared with a photo of themselves and a 32-bar excerpt from a musical theatre song. Adults also should plan to do a oneminute monologue. All kids ages 7-14 are guaranteed a role as a munchkin or flying monkey. Peak to Peak Players is also offering “Sensational Summer of Seuss” theatre camp experiences this summer for children in school grades 3-12. Camps are taught by a group of experienced directors, musical directors and choreographers, July 9-13 and July 16-27. A performance of Seusspeare takes place July 14 and Seaussical Jr. on July 28. Hunt, a Gilpin County resident, holds a Ph.D. in theatre from the University of Colorado Boulder where she taught theatre courses, worked with Interactive Theatre Project and Theatre Without Borders, and served as a production dramaturg and assistant director. She developed the pedagogical method Collaborative Dramaturgy for Student Activism with a focus on using Shakespeare in secondary classrooms to engage students in solving social problems in local communities. She continues this work in the language arts department at Fairview High School in Boulder. O’Brien, a substitute teacher at Gilpin School, has been drawn to the stage as long as she can remember. She holds a BA in Law, Philosophy, and Rhetoric and a Masters in Business Administration from Stephens College. As an adult, she worked with a number of theatre companies in Columbia, MO. She also works with The Gilpin Elementary Theatre Department and recently directed a production of Annie Kids.

Melodrama helps preserve history
By Jeffrey V. Smith SILVER PLUME Silver Plume’s annual melodrama, which opens for its 41st run in April is a town-wide, generationalspanning, family affair. Everyone gets involved. The Plume Players’ current production, The Lady or the Devil, was written by local George Downing and is a reprise of the 1987 melodrama. It includes songs and musical co-ordination by John McEuen and John Wilson. “The play was originally written in 1987 by George and there were some other stars… including John McEwen from the Nitty Grtty Dirt Band,” Director Nicolas Regester said. “He wrote one of the songs and then he did musical direction for the rest of it. Also, the title song, called “Dynamite Lady” was written by John Wilson, known as “Fiddler John,” who has made a return… to take his role back.” According to Regester, there are plenty of reasons to boo and hiss. “The story follows a poor woman in her hour of need who turns to the only being who will listen. Unfortunately, the small mountain town must suffer for her decisions. It ends up turning the town upside down and the town’s people are forced to reconcile their differences.” The melodrama is always plenty of fun for everyone, but it also is the largest fund-raiser in town for historic preservation. Regester, who grew up participating in the town’s melodramas with his parents and other family members, is once again the director. “George is my great grandfather, so I grew up doing it as a child,” he said. “This melodrama is one I’ve been pushing to do for the last couple years. It’s one of my favorites from my memory of the time. In 1987, I was 7 years old and it’s always stuck out in my memory as one of my favorites. I think most of that is from the musical line up. I really enjoyed it.” While Regester is working to keep the melodrama going, it was Downing who got things rolling. “George started it. He’s written 34 new melodramas, one each year,” Regester said. “In the last five years, he’s been getting older and hasn’t been able to write new ones, so we’re bringing up the old ones.” Dinner is served with each performance starting an hour before the show. Enjoy a sandwich buffet with cold cuts, salads, chips, guacamole and salsa and ice cream. Tickets are $35 for adults and on Sundays, seniors are $30. Children are $15. All money raised goes to the People of Silver Plume, a local non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Silver Plume History. “The People for Silver Plume run and maintain the museum, theater and host other events for the town,” Regester explained. “They own our museum, and manage the George Downing Theater.” The melodrama is staged April 7-8, April 14-15, April 21-22 and July 3 in the George Downing Playhouse/Large Town Hall, 1025 Main St. in Silver Plume. Call 303-569-2023 to make reservations. Saturday doors open at 6 p.m., the buffet dinner begins at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. On Sundays, everything is an hour earlier with doors at 5 p.m. Visit Silverplu.me to learn more and find a link for tickets.

New center creates
A Community Gathering Place ESTES PARK stes Valley Recreation and Park District, provider of numerous recreational and community activities in Estes Valley, held a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting event for its new 70,000-square-foot, stateof-the-art Estes Valley Community Center in early March. It’s been a popular community gathering place ever since. “We are beyond words with excitement about the opening of this facility,” said Tom Carosello, Executive Director for the EVRPD. “It took many persistent visionaries more than five decades to get the building passed, but it took our current team less than two years to make it a reality.” The new building is a comprehensive, multigenerational destination for residents and visitors to Estes Park. District staff kept the Estes Valley population of approximately 11,000 people in mind when designing the building but knew the four and a half million visitors who pass-through Estes Park every year would benefit from its services as well. It will be especially beneficial for staying active on cold, windy or rainy days and for families looking for something to do with kids in Estes Park. “The community center gives visitors another thing to do in Estes Park and hopefully ease up some of the congestion of going into Rocky Mountain National Park. They can hang out in the lazy river or take a class during peak

New center offers something for all ages
Continued from page 16
According to Dawn Wilson, EVRPD Communications Manager construction stayed on budget and on time. “Since opening day, we have heard nothing but rave reviews about our new community center,” she said. “It has been wonderful watching this building turn from just a structure to a community gathering place. We see kids come in after school to shoot hoops and play in the pool. We see seniors walking the track in the morning and sitting
with friends at our weekly lunch. We see people of all ages participating in classes and we have seen visitors to Estes Park say they want to move here now because it is a great family facility… overall, it seems that everyone—at least those that have been here in the community center—gives it a positive thumbs up.” Visit evrpd.com or call 970-586-8189 to learn more about all community center and recreation district offerings and to register for classes.
The new Community Center offers a “Lazy River” feature.

FOOD & DRINK Food, drink pairing supports Easter Seals EMPIRE Easterseals Colorado’s 5th annual “A Perfect Pairing,” May 5 from 5-8 p.m. at the Rocky Mountain Village Camp, 2644 Alvarado Road in Empire, includes tapas -style food prepared by local chefs paired with drinks from local breweries and distilleries. In addition, there will be entertainment and a silent auction. Clear Creek-based businesses Tommyknocker Brewery, Guanella Pass Brewery, Westbound & Down Brewing Company, Bouck Brothers Distill-
ing, Troias Cafe and Marketplace, Cooper’s on the Creek and The Frothy Cup join Food Services of America to present the food and drinks. Event organizers hope to raise $35,000 to send 20 or more campers to a week of fun at the camp. Last year, over 800 campers experienced a week of magic at Rocky Mountain Village, fishing, riding horses and riding down a zip-line. Tickets are $75 in advance or $100 the day of the event. Sponsorships are available. Visit eastersealscolorado.org for details and advance tickets.
Farmer’s market seeks vendors, volunteers NEDERLAND
The Nederland Farmer’s Market—held in Guercio Field the second Sunday of each month May-October from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.—is seeking vendors and volunteers for the upcoming 2018 season. Crafters, musicians, backyard gardeners, bakers, canners, herbalists, jewelry-makers and other artisan vendors focused on health, and sustainability” are encouraged to participate. Applications are available by request. While some vendors are fully-licensed businesses, many are locals with home-based operations. If vendors meet certain conditions and sell cottage foods, fresh produce or starter plants, a business license may not be needed. Details are available upon request. The Nederland Farmer’s Market also has volunteer roles for all commitment levels including some that take a few hours during an event. For more information, a vendor application, or to learn more about volunteering, contact nederlandfarmersmarket@gmail.com.

Last year’s Nederland Farmer’s Market featured fresh-roasted peppers.
Celebrate Pint Day at local breweries FRONT RANGE Colorado Pint Day, back for its third year, April 4, is a featured event during Colorado Craft Beer Week and raises funds for the Colorado Brewer’s Guild, a non-profit trade association representing Colorado craft breweries and brewpubs. At participating breweries, buy a pint, get the glass and $1 is donated to the Guild. This year, the limited edition artwork on the glass is by Brendan O’Connor of Goodland Design with a theme of Colorado’s more than 300 days of sunshine and over 300 breweries. Metallic gold and blue inks were used to “make it a little extra special.” Participating breweries in this region include Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons, Rock Cut Brewing in Estes Park, Tommyknocker Brewing and Westbound & Down Brewing in Idaho Springs and Very Nice Brewing in Nederland. To learn more, visit coloradobeer.org.
