This summer, the Water in the West event series will return to Summit County with three free events spotlighting critical water issues. 

The series is being held in partnership with local environmental organizations. Each event focuses on a different water issue with a unique featured speaker. 

The June 17th event, hosted by High Country Conservation Center, focuses on climate and water issues, while the Blue River Watershed Group’s July 22nd event will focus on water quality and volunteer stewardship in the Blue River Watershed. The final event is hosted by Friends of the Dillon Ranger District and focuses on forests and watersheds. 



All three events will be hosted at the Highside Brewery in Frisco from 5:30-7 p.m. Food will be provided, and although RSVPs are not required, they are encouraged to assist organizers with planning.

RSVP information can be at TinyUrl.com/WaterWestSC.

Summit Daily is embarking on a multiyear project to digitize its archives going back to 1989 and make them available to the public in partnership with the Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection. The full project is expected to cost about $165,000. All donations made in 2023 will go directly toward this project.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.
