[Colorado-Talk] Blind friendly MeadowGrass festival

[kevan nfbco.org]

It’s a great festival. Our good friend Brian Smith has been there with me a number of times. All of the information you need is on the attachment link to the website. It is at La Pera conference and retreat center. Right there by Black Forest north of Springs transport . Transportation is one bugaboo. When I say Blind friendly. I probably should’ve talked about that a little bit. If you do a one day pass and you’re leaving the festival grounds at 10 or 1030 it can be difficult to get a lift or an Uber. So probably want to plan out your transportation. Let me know if I can help.

Greetings friends,

What do I mean by, “blind friendly”? Imp on the Board of Directors of the Rocky Mountain Music Collaborative. We are the people who put on the MeadowGrass festival every Memorial Day weekend. 2 and a half days of Americana, Roots, R & B, Blues, and Bluegrass on Friday afternoon, Saturday, and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. There's a beer festival on  Friday afternoon, there is food and craft vendors, and there is a fabulous kids zone all weekend. There are single-day passes, 3-day passes, and camping passes available. This is our 17th annual MeadowGrass. There are volunteer opportunities with benefits available. There are also still rooms in the lodge for sale. Volunteers work one shift at the festival in exchange for free festival pass, and you get to walk around wearing this cool MeadowGrass volunteer shirt.

Why do I say blind friendly? Many of us have been to many, many shows, cruises, very large festivals, and other events. Blind friendly can mean different things to different people. I call it blind friendly because it’s a small festival. The acoustics are amazing. It's very easy to navigate this festival. Many of our buddies have attended. Such as Jessica Beecham, Kevin Kovics, Nate Hecker, Steven Woods, Emily Woods, Brian Smith, and others. I’m sure some of them will be coming back this Memorial Day. I will be there to lend a hand, and I know our festival grounds like the back of my hand. Also, this is a wonderful venue with great great people. The community that always seems to have a handout to help, but not a handout to grab and push and pull. 😊 It’s a great festival of joy, community, family, and music.

I just wanted to pass this info along. I hope you will consider joining us in the meadow. If I can help in any way, please let me know. Just don’t talk to me when the artists are playing their magic. This is a heck of a musicians' lineup this year. We bring you local, regional, and national talent. Here’s the link https://rockymountainhighway.org/.<https://rockymountainhighway.org/>
