Special Events

Throughout the year, Crow Canyon holds a number of special events—on campus and in cities across the country—to raise awareness of, and support for, the Center's mission.

Public Forum: The Cultural and Economic Values of Chimney Rock as a National Momument

January 16, 2012, 9 a.m.

Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, 2313 Eagle Drive, Pagosa Springs, Colorado

The diverse values of Chimney Rock Archaeological Area will be spotlighted in this public forum. In 2011, Sen. Michael Bennet led the congressional effort in the Senate to designate the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area in southwestern Colorado as a national monument, supported by Sen. Mark Udall. Rep. Scott Tipton introduced the legislation in the House of Representatives. Tipton will be the keynote speaker at the forum, followed by archaeologists, American Indian leaders, economists, and representatives from the governmental and civic communities. The event is sponsored by Crow Canyon and the Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce. A light breakfast and lunch will be served. Please RSVP by January 13, 2012. Call 970.564.4396 or 800.422.8975, ext. 136.
