What a long, strange trip it’s been. While we’re all saying that, let’s throw our hats — and helmets — in the air for a summer that’ll surely be more action-packed than last. “We’re excited to see events returning to Steamboat,” says Steamboat Springs Chamber CEO Kara Stoller. “Event producers have been working incredibly hard to create plans for safe events and we’re looking forward to welcoming back these opportunities to reconnect and celebrate together.” Following are a few virtual/schmirtual events to put on your Swillin’ and Chillin’ calendar:
