Kicking off Summer Enchanted Evenings!!

Good morning! My name is Laura Franklin and I am pleased to be one of the Dining and Event’s Mangers for the 2009 season. We are delighted to announce the kick off of our new series Summer Enchanted Evening on June 3rd! This Wednesday will have a game-show atmosphere and a $25 cash prize for the winning team or individual. So don’t miss out on all the fun!

The series was organized by the Estes Park History Rescue Project, the spokesperson John Meissner says, the talks will be part history, part natural history and part show and tell, with topics ranging form archeology to hummingbirds.

“In some ways, we will be recreating the era of the 1930s and 1940s, when Rocky Mountain National Park rangers and other naturalists toured prominent area lodges and resorts like circuit riders, speaking on a variety of topics,” Meissner said. “The difference is that now we have PowerPoint instead of lantern slides, and will make it easier on everyone by staying at one particular location.”

We are excited for local historians like Sybil Barnes and Duke Sumonia to speak, as well as invited outside specialists. A schedule of topics through the end of July is available at either the Baldpate Inn website or the EPHRP website. It is likely the talks will continue through September, with popular talks repeated and new speakers scheduled! All of the presentations will be held in the Baldpate Inn library beginning at 7:00 p.m. and last 40-45 minutes.

We’ll keep you posted on all of our exciting events for the season and you are always welcome to call 970.586.6151 for more information
