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.
