Calling all Chaffee County creatives. The Chaffee County Economic Recovery Team is partnering with local event organizations to form Chaffee for Chaffee. Chaffee for Chaffee is a series of events created to fund relief for full-time Chaffee County creatives. We understand that creatives are not only at the center of what makes Chaffee County so unique but are also very worried about their livelihoods during this unprecedented time.

In our first effort to garner support, we are hosting a virtual relief concert on May 22 at 6:00 PM. We are asking for pre-recorded submissions from all creatives within our county to be featured in Chaffee for Chaffee. Musicians are asked to submit a 3-10 minute pre-recorded set with social media and website links, artists are asked to submit a 3-5 minute demonstration with social media and website links. Submissions must be in by May 11 at 12:00 PM. Please email your submissions and questions to [email protected] in Salida and [email protected] in BV.

We forgot it was a Friday. Can anyone else relate to that right now? Bones is hard at work right now uploading our 2019 show. Go to our page and click on the watch party at 5:30 PM tonight for Set 1 and again tomorrow at 5:30 PM for Set 2. It's tough out there right now, we wanta make you smile and shake it a little too! We love you guys! Please say ✋🏼during the watch party and share ❤
