On the Road journeys into rural Colorado meeting people where they are and experiencing first-hand the relationships we hold with the places we call home. In these conversations, we come to know educators & entrepreneurs, farmers & ranchers, funders & frontline workers, artists and outfitters, outdoor advocates and cultural stewards. In their stories, we are offered a window into the lived-experiences of real people making their way in real communities across Colorado.

Hand in hand with community and valley-wide partners, On the Road brings together an array of San Luis Valley voices for a free and open to the public series of Campfire Conversations beginning Thursday, Nov. 2, in the Town of San Luis.

In these conversations, we come to know educators & entrepreneurs, farmers & ranchers, funders & frontline workers, artists and outfitters, outdoor advocates and cultural stewards. In their stories, we are offered a window into the lived-experiences of real people making their way in real communities across Colorado. These personal narratives have a way of uncovering our root sources of connection, deepening our appreciation for the places we call home, and serving as catalysts for change.
