Description

ON THE ROAD is a project of people and place. In a special collaboration with the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office, The Wright sets out to rural Colorado communities to experience first-hand the relationships we hold with our landscapes, our industries, our histories, and our neighbors. Along the way, we come to know the real work of real Colorado communities through the stories of people and place -- educators & entrepreneurs, farmers & ranchers, miners & makers, funders & frontline workers. Their stories have a way of reminding us where we have come from and where we are going. Campfire Conversations are our way of sharing these important stories. Who we'll hear from...
