Life in the Arkansas River Valley is wonderful. People come to this part of the world seeking adventure and solitude, beauty and community. We are a people bound together by a mutual love of this place and all it offers. But where can we go to discuss what goes on in our community with everyone from our community?
Welcome to ChannelBV! This is the place to find community news and discussion about the people, activities and events in and around the wonderful town of Buena Vista, Colorado. It’s a place to coordinate hiking trips. It’s a place to find out what happened at the last town meeting. It’s a place to meet local artists and writers and business people. It’s a place to talk about the music festival or Gold Rush Days or rafting or winter. Above all, it’s the place to share your ideas about the things that go on in your town.
Come in and take a look around. When you do, you will find:
News: Here you will find articles written by your friends and neighbors about events in town, issues they care about and all things Buena Vista. Have an opinion to share? Respond to the article by commenting at the bottom or write your own article and link to it from your comment. Don’t know how to do this? Not a problem. We will be hosting a series of events to show you how to participate. We are also always looking for new articles - suggest an article or story from the submit a story button in the navigation bar.
Forums: The best way to explore an idea with your fellow Buena Vistans is in the ChannelBV forums. Come and discuss whatever is on your mind. If you want to discuss town issues, talk about a great new book, get on a soapbox about water rights or setup an art show, the forums are a great place to do it. Free and open to all, the forums let the conversation take place whenever it’s convenient for you. Take a look and see what you think.
Event Calendar: An up-to-date calendar with a simple form to add your event to the list. Visit the calendar link in the navigation bar to see what’s happening, to sign up for our weekly email to keep you in the loop or to submit an event.
Free Classified Ads: Communities need an easy way to swap their stuff. Inspired by craigslist, Mid Mountain Classifieds, our sister site, offers free classified ads with photos to the citizens of Chaffee, Lake and Park Counties. Businesses may also place ads for a nominal fee.
Come and be part of the Conversation at ChannelBV! We are glad you are here. Please keep in mind that our site is in the “beta phase”. We anticipate a few snags and bumps along the way.
