“So many have worked so hard to get us to this point,” says Southwest Colorado LOC Chair Ellen Roberts. This launch party will celebrate what we have accomplished and unveil news of what lies ahead. We can’t wait to share it all on November 20.”
For over a year, we have been meeting, planning, and discussing how we will honor and celebrate the twin anniversaries of 2026 of our nation’s birth and Colorado’s statehood. We have momentum… a newsletter, a new website, brochures, an exhibit at the Cowboy Gathering on October 5, and a host of Signature Initiatives in the works.
We are ready for 2025 and excited for 2026.
The Commission has created eight regional planning and organizing groups. We are the Southwest Colorado region, which is comprised of nine counties. Local Organizing Committees, staffed entirely of volunteers, will guide, support, and promote activities and events within our region. Our support is free, and we hope to financially assist some activities eventually.
Our website contains information on planning, events, and opportunities to join this history-making journey in Southwest Colorado.
Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (DS&NG) is our first corporate sponsor, supporting the innovative Passport to Southwest Colorado. Fourth-grade teachers throughout our eight-county region are creating the passport project to introduce students to the places, sites, and events that reflect our Southwest culture and heritage.
Ask us about how to become a corporate sponsor.
