Top Events August 2 – August 8 in Summit County, Colorado: Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Dillon and Frisco

BBQ at the Summit hits Dillon, Colorado on August 6th and 7th.

As an employee of the Town of Dillon’s event department, I’ll be speaking barbeque for the entire week. I’ll just be thankful that speaking doesn’t equal the same calories as eating.

There’s plenty happening this week in the county in addition to BBQ at the Summit. Here goes:Breckenridge, Colorado Event Pick: Friends of Breckenridge Trails Lower Flume Trailbuilding
Saturday, August 7: 8:00am-2:00pm
Meet behind Breckenridge Town Hall
Another great volunteer opportunity with Friends of Breckenridge Trails. I’ve enjoyed these projects in the past, but since they’re usually on weekends, many folks in the county (including me) can’t make it. Head out if you can. It’s the perfect opportunity to give back to the trails that we love so much here in Summit County, Colorado.
