Black Forest Days Recap and Thank You – September 2020
Black Forest Days – Thank You!
Black Forest, CO – September 1, 2020. Beginning in December 2019, Shari Conley and her dedicated Black Forest Festival Executive Committee (BFF) started planning the 2020 Festival. They chose the theme “We Are Black Forest” and began volunteering long hours. Then COVID-19 happened. Events all over the state were cancelled.
In order to continue the 40–year tradition of a Black Forest Festival, the BFF had to get creative. The Black Forest Community Club (BFCC) made the difficult decision to replace the traditional Black Forest Festival with Black Forest Days to meet COVID-19 regulations. In the spirit of “We Are Black Forest”, the BFCC held five small outdoor events spread across four days. A good time was had by all – certainly due to the hard work of many folks.
