GOL! Community Film Night // Noche de Peliculas Comunitarias
Premier of Outlier: Common With a Meet & Greet + Q & A with Director Dani Reyes-Acosta
OUTLIER: Common follows three Latina leaders chasing summit perfection. On an emotional journey through mountain ranges, a scientist, a filmmaker and a disruptor share the deeply personal, turbulent stories of their lives — while pushing toward the summits that define them. At personal crossroads, these women turn to the mountains for clarity and an exploration of mind, heart, body and soul. From British Columbia’s deep backcountry to the Tetons’ towering peaks, their journey reveals hard-won lessons on tenacity, joy and solidarity — even when the world feels like it’s crumbling.
Plus Four Other Short-Films, Including the Leadville-Made, Award-Winning '“From My Window”
"From My Window" is an award-winning 20-minute documentary from No Barriers, USA featuring Melissa Simpson, a woman with cerebral palsy living in Leadville, Colorado. The film captures her determination to climb a 13,000-foot peak in her GRIT Freedom Chair and redefine her limits.

Leadville Vision 2076
What would Colorado look like in 2076 if we achieved everything we're working toward today? LCBAG is partnering with Reimagine Colorado and the Colorado Fiscal Institute to co-host Vision 2076, a statewide community visioning event on November 6th at 6pm.
This is an interactive event where community members will imagine what Colorado could look like in the year 2076. We recognize the massive amount of work that you've put into our local comprehensive planning process and the facilitators will tie this conversation to the ongoing One Community Project. While that project continues to be important, we don't want Lake County to be left out of this statewide conversation!
Why participate? Your input will contribute to Vision 2076, a statewide initiative gathering voices from communities across Colorado. We'll publish a public document identifying our shared values as Coloradans and creating a roadmap for the future we want to build together.
You'll participate in:
Creative activities with art supplies and hands-on projects
Small group conversations with neighbors from across the Central Mountains
Facilitated visioning exercises about Colorado's future
Delicious food and refreshments
Who should come? Anyone who cares about Colorado's future! No artistic experience or special knowledge required—just bring your curiosity and imagination.
Event Details:
Date: Thursday November 6, 2025
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: Colorado Mountain College - 901 US-24, Leadville, CO
Cost: Free!
