Telluride, CO (May 26, 2022) – These past two years have intensified our perspectives and reminded us how important it is to appreciate and celebrate what we have. For many of us, the pandemic has highlighted how lucky we are to call Telluride home. Much of what we love about Telluride was the brainchild of Joyce Allred, Ron Allred and Jim Wells. As a result, the Telluride Foundation is hosting a community celebration to honor them with a dedication at the Oak Street Plaza on June 9th at 4:00 p.m.; A reception will follow at Oak Restaurant.
Mucho antes de que COVID cambiara nuestro mundo, la Fundación Telluride empezó a pensar en cómo podría la comunidad honrar mejor a Joyce, Ron y Jim como los visionarios que transformaron la zona de esquí de Telluride de unos pocos remontes en una estación de clase mundial. Ambos fueron también miembros fundadores de la Fundación Telluride. El 9 de junio, su contribución a la comunidad se celebrará con una nueva exposición pública, creada en colaboración con el Museo Histórico de Telluride, que explica la evolución de la estación de esquí de Telluride. La inauguración de esta exposición tendrá lugar en la plaza de Oak Street a las 16.00 horas, e inmediatamente después se celebrará una recepción en Oak.
The Telluride Foundation is the lead donor on this project, but the entire community is invited to help by making a donation of any size to the project. We hope that all who have benefitted from Joyce, Ron & Jim’s bold, risky, and innovative vision will join us in honoring them and this wonderful community they helped create.
