HANGING AROUND

kris — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:49:51 +0000

I’ve just finished my first “animation.” It was a project I started with Cara a few years ago and got side lined. I kept meaning to revisit it, but you know how it goes. So the other day, my friend Jack at the Durango Chamber told me to consider finishing it and entering it into the Chamber Video contest. What the hec? So I did. The Look Local First campaign sends a good message in a nice way. No begging or preaching. Just a, “Hey, next time you’re shopping look local first. If you don’t find what you need, then that’s fine.” The animation’s goal: to give you a brief run down of what happens to our dollars and why it’s a good idea to try to keep them flowing in your county.

FURNITURE AS ART

DON’T MISS THIS!

This is one of my personal favorite events in Durango. It’s festive, fun and you get to see great art, cool concepts and if you are lucky, walk away with a piece for yourself.

FIRST NIGHT IN DURANGO

Having just completed the graphic system for First Night Durango, an EcoLogic Event – I have to say I’m particularly excited about it. Both the system and the event. Durango has been in need of an all ages New Year’s event for some time. This one has something for everyone.

For the entire family, go downtown around 8:00 and jump into the festivities. It’s an all ages celebration, combining art, music, food, activities and kick booty warming stations. Hot chocolate for kids, slightly harder offerings for parents.

And if you are kid free and looking to partake in an adult event, there will also be a Sparkling Wine and Cupcake tasting set up in an enormous tent, heated and decorated lounge style. Music, entertainment and plenty of fun are all part of this private event. Tickets are $50 which I think is a great deal for an entire evening of swanky entertainment.

Get out and have some New Year’s fun Durango!

KDUR FALL FUNDRAISER 2009

It’s our favorite time of year!

The onset of fall?
Finding that essential Halloween costume?
The impending ski season?

No, silly, the KDUR Fall Fundraiser!

Each year, the task is to come up with a new theme for the Fall Fundraiser drive, appropriate for that year’s events locally or nationally — while driving home the important message that KDUR is a local public radio station.

This year, KDUR is celebrating 35 glorious years of public radio in the 4 Corners. So, naturally, a 70′s themed ‘Family Affair’ poster and t-shirts were the idea for the drive. The poster displays photos of the past station managers in a groovy family tree. To score a ‘hip’ tee & beanie, become a KDUR member October 16-23, 2009.

DURANGO FALL BLAZE

For all of you cyclists out there take note. The 4th Annual Durango Fall Blaze is right around the corner, on September 26. This century bike tour crosses some beautiful areas in and around Durango with options for shorter distances for those of you who aren’t quite so masochistic. It’s well supported and kicks off with a Packet Pickup Party and ends with a fab lunch! Did I mention beer? (Courtesy of Carver Brewing Company)

This year the poster was designed with the sponsors in mind. There are so many great ones, we wanted to make sure that they were given more than the token bottom line. The theme, while some may say is very avant-psychedelic, I say its how you feel when you finally cross the finish line after riding 100 miles. A little swoopy and ready for a beer!
