EVENTCONNECTIONThe What, Where & When in Western Colorado.

WesternColorado.com is excited to announce the addition of the EVENTCONNECTION, the premier monthly guide for arts and entertainment happenings in Western Colorado. Like the Web site, the EVENTCONNECTION is filled with features, photos, and a comprehensive pull-out style calendar of music, literature, dining, art, festivals, outdoor activities, and much more.

5,000 copies of the EVENTCONNECTION will be made available each month, free of charge, at over 200 locations in the Grand Valley and we will be expanding into other parts of Western Colorado soon. The quality and content of the magazine helps to ensure that it gets read multiple times. And because the magazine is being read multiple times, your ad will be read multiple times simply because the magazine does not wind up in the recycling piles as fast as some other publications.

As an added value, the EVENTCONNECTION will be made available online in PDF format at www.WesternColorado.com.

At WesternColorado.com, we support the arts by featuring organizations and people that are active in building the remarkable arts community that so enriches all of our lives. Your support of our Web site and this publication with your advertising dollars will help us continue to support arts and entertainment in our community.

If you would like to become a distribution site, or wish to reserve advertising space on WesternColorado.com or in the event connection, please call (970) 642-3060.
