Is your tendency to fall back on “that time when”…or, “do you remember…”? Life is stranger than fiction, and if you want to work out some of your lived experiences in writing, then this session is for you! We’ll do a number of exercises to help strengthen the pen and generate ideas, as well as share and talk writing! Join the Western Colorado Writers’ Forum on May 5, 2026, from 6-7:30 p.m. at The Art Center in Grand Junction for this fun, generative session! Speaker Bio Brooke A. Carlson has been falling through books, writing here and there, and teaching all over the place for ages. Slipping through higher ed for the last couple of decades has meant publications on pedagogy in academic spaces, and pushing to expand scholarly writing into the public. Along the way, poetry happens.

Conservation Colorado and your fellow public lands champions for a festive Colorado Public Lands Day celebration. Let's raise a glass to the incredible public lands that make Colorado so special, groove to awesome live local music, and get inspired to protect the public lands we love! While we're having a great time, we'll also learn about the real threats these landscapes face today—including sell-off attempts and federal staffing reductions—and discover concrete, impactful ways we can all step up to defend them right here in our community. Dress Code: Show off your public lands pride! Rock a t-shirt from your favorite national park, a hat with a conservation message, or whatever gear shows off your love for Colorado's public lands. Let's make it clear how much these landscapes mean to us! RSVP: Admission is free, but please register in advance so we can get an accurate headcount for the party!
