Summer is finally here in the high country and we’re so excited for what it brings: mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, longer dog walks and just sitting out on the patio at your favorite brewery. VNTRbirds wants to celebrate our community, the change of the season, as well as our latest journey of purchasing VIDA MTB Series! Come out to our LAUNCH PARTY at Broken Compass Brewing on Saturday, June 17th and help us toast to a new venture (pun intended). ALL ARE WELCOME. Bring your family, friends, dogs, boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, kiddos and the people you just met on your last bike ride.
DETAILS:
Doors Open 5pm:
$5 gets you into the party with a free game ticket for a chance to win our MANY giveaways. The proceeds of our entrance fee goes to our VNTRbirds SCHOLARSHIP FUND. You can pre-purchase tickets or buy at the door. For every beer purchased, Broken Compass will donate $1 to the VNTR Fund!
Film Showings 6pm-6:45pm:
We’re so proud to present two cycling films this evening:
Practicing Freedom: From director and producer, Cheshire Li, “I hope that this film inspires other queer, femme, women, and BIPOC riders to get on their bikes and build community”! This short film shows that mountain biking brings peace when sometimes life seems to bring uncertainty.
The Water Cycle: In 2021 seven women rode from the source of the Colorado River to the sea. This is their story. And the story of all those who live along the river’s banks.
Live Music 7pm-9:30pm:
The People’s Key is bringing the TWANG for your dancing feet with their bluegrass tones to keep the party going.
GIVEAWAYS EVERY HOUR
Whether you’re only making it for an hour or the entire night, you have an opportunity to WIN BIG. We have giveaways from Yeti Cycles, Shimano, Feedback Sports, Solo Stove, Dakine, Vans, Smith, SHREDLY, Mountain Flow Wax Co., and so many more!
All proceeds support the VNTR FUND: supporting women in the outdoors and furthering their outdoor education through mentorships and grants.
