Montbello Alive! 2025
Montbello Alive! was created to celebrate the vibrant, diverse, and resilient community of Montbello. Founded in September 1965, Montbello became Denver's first major annexation of privately owned land, adding over 2,600 acres to the far northeast part of the city. Today, Montbello is a thriving community of over 36,000 residents, proud of its rich history and strong sense of unity.
Despite facing challenges related to infrastructure, affordable housing, education, and access to healthy foods, Montbello residents have continued to invest in their community through grassroots organizing and advocacy. Montbello Alive! was founded to honor the dignity, pride, and diversity of its residents, creating a safe and inclusive space for families to celebrate with food, entertainment, and activities.
Wild West Days - Education Foundation of Eagle County 2025
Wild West Day fundraising was an idea spearheaded 34 years ago by a group of elementary school parent volunteers. The idea is to collectively combine fundraising efforts and solicit businesses and community members of Eagle County from Vail to Gypsum once a year between August-September, rather than exhausting fundraising resources by soliciting individually and year-round. The collective volunteer efforts of all ECSD elementary and Pre-K have proven successful year after year, raising up to $20,000 per school.
Wild West Day's fundraising success relies on PTA and PTO organizations' leadership and communication with their school communities, volunteer commitments, and an “all-in” attitude of enthusiasm and excitement to engage community-wide participation.
Join E•ƒ(ec) and your elementary school at the scenic 4 Eagle Ranch for the return of this treasured community event!
Entry tickets are $8.00/person no matter who you are; parents, kids, teachers, and volunteers all cost the same to get into this awesome "fun"draiser event! Parking is free!
