Past Storytelling events

Fall 2022
Stories of Home & Heart

The free movie events included a diverse collection of stories created by Chaffee County community members during a workshop hosted in partnership with Colorado Mountain College. The storytellers shared their perspectives about what home means to them and was followed by an engaging question and answer session with the storytellers. We Are Chaffee would like to acknowledge the significant effort and
courage the storytellers devoted to sharing their stories to evoke community understanding and
compassion.
