This calendar is made possible by an anonymous donation from an Estes Park community member. This funding has allowed for the development of certain features, such as the ability to let users see the calendar in whatever view they prefer: a stream of events, one week at a time, a birds-eye view of the month and more. Users can also specify what kind of events they seek, such as music, outdoor, art exhibits, etc. This asset is stronger and more effective the more people that participate, both as users and contributors.
