#BeLocal Day @ The Crown
Jul 25 @ 7:30 am – 9:00 am

Refills. Not Landfills. #BeLocalDayCome to The Crown in Breckenridge or Abbey’s Coffee in Frisco on Wednesday, July 25th from 7:30-9am for HC3’s #BeLocal Day. Chat with staff and board members of HC3, learn about our programs and grab a free water bottle (limited supply).

Being “local” isn’t defined by “us vs. them” or by how many years you may have lived in Summit County or by how many days you’ve skied. Being local is a state of mind. And, it’s how you act!

We believe that anyone and everyone who loves this place embodies the spirt of a local and can #BeLocal.

We want to celebrate our locals – for who they are and what they believe. And, most importantly, we want to activate you to care even more … to care enough to give back, to conserve, to recycle and to get involved.

So, let’s join together to create a brighter, better future. Because, after all, we can all #BeLocal! Join us.

Imagine a Day Without Water @ Join the Movement online & share your water story using #ValueWater

Water is not only essential to life, it’s an integral piece of our mountain lifestyle – from the places we play to the beer we drink. To raise awareness of this precious resource, water providers across Summit County will offer facility tours on and around October 10. Learn about where your water comes from and how water providers bring this precious resource from the stream to your home.
