Thank you for joining us at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival at the Ute Theater in Rifle on Sept. 23, 2023, and at the Vaudeville in Glenwood Springs on Sept. 28, 2023. The Film Fest is our largest fundraiser of the year. We share beautiful independent films that inform and inspire people to take action. Our audience comes together to share their love of the river and outdoors, to laugh, to cry, and to get excited about how they can make an impact. The best would be to join MCWC in its mission to evaluate, protect, and enhance the health of our watershed.
