Find out at ColoradoEncyclopedia.org. THE FIRST FRAME Like many mid-century Americans, Golden resident Ray V. Frost loved his camera. A master brewer at Coors Brewing Company during the workweek, Frost spent his weekends and vacations behind the lens. From the 1950s through the mid-1980s, he took thousands of color slides of his road trips and his skiing, hiking, and mountaineering adventures throughout Colorado. Slide collections by amateur photographers like Frost may seem commonplace, but they’re actually quite significant; photos like his offer some of the best glimpses of our state’s rapid economic and social changes during the mid-twentieth century—including views of bygone fashions, fads, and places. This color slide captures Frost’s friend Cliff Evans standing in the “parking lot” of the Berthoud Pass Lodge on April 19, 1953, at the now-defunct Berthoud Pass ski area. 2014.33.77 To order a scan or print of this image, or to see more Ray V.

  • Regional Annual Report
    2018 REGIONAL ANNUAL REPORT Bringing Communities Hope A Message from the Regional Executive Reflecting on the 2018 Fiscal Year (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018), I take great pride in the dedication and spirit of our remarkable American Red Cross volunteers and employees. The year included the most significant disaster season we have seen in over a decade, yet, with the support of our donors and volunteers, we rose to every occasion when called. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the commitment and generosity of our donors. Together, we have accomplished so much in our community. Day and night, the Red Cross offered a helping hand and understanding ear to people in Colorado and Wyoming—whether it was bringing relief and hope to families picking up the pieces following a disaster or providing support and care for our military members, veterans and their loved ones. While meeting these immediate needs, trained Red Cross volunteers also partnered with fire departments, community groups and corporations to install free smoke alarms and to teach our neighbors lifesaving preparedness skills in our first annual Sound the Alarm national event. Over a busy year in the Colorado & Wyoming Region, our community volunteers and local partners stepped up time and again, joining with the Red Cross to bring vital assistance to people in need. In this report, you will learn more about the wide variety of work done through your local Red Cross chapters—who bring our mission to life every day. I am grateful to everyone who selflessly contributed their time, expertise and financial resources to support the Red Cross in Fiscal Year 2018.

    Photo: VISIT DENVER MPMA Regional Museum Conference 64th Annual MPMA Conference October 15 - October 19 | Denver, CO Photo: ToddPowell Photo Credit VISITDENVER 2017 Preliminary Conference Program Photo: VISIT DENVER Western Altitude / Western Attitude Photo: VISIT DENVER Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Western Altitude / Western Attitude Join in the conversation: #MPMA2017 Why Museums Are Needed Now More Than Ever Photo: VISIT DENVER/Steve Crecelius Invitation from the MPMA Conference Chairs Dear Colleagues and Friends: Join us this fall in Denver, Colorado…where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. What an appropriate place for the 2017 annual meeting of the Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA), an organization where the museums of the mountains and plains come together. And MPMA even had its origins in this area. Here you will discover Western Altitudes and Western Attitude at our museums, historic sites, and within our people. John Deutschendorf was so impressed by Denver that he took it as his last name, becoming one of Colorado’s beloved balladeers, singing about our altitudes and our attitudes. John Denver wasn’t alone in his attraction to the area; millions have been rushing to the state since gold was discovered in 1859. What you will discover during our conference is that Denver is not just a single city but an entire region offering many great cultural resources as well as great scenic beauty. Our evening events will capitalize on the best that the Denver area has to offer. The opening event will be hosted in the heart of Denver by History Colorado, site of exhibits about Colorado’s history (including “Backstory: Western American Art in Context,” an exciting collaboration with the Denver Art Museum), and by the Clyfford Still Museum, where the works and life of one of the fathers of abstract expressionism are exhibited.
