SPRING/SUMMER/FALL 2009

Dear Journalist,

Aspen's name alone conjures images of majestic mountains, outdoor adventure, healthy living, divine dining, music festivals, and exceptional shopping. To the world, Aspen means, "The Good Life."  And yes, our town has everything the good life has to offer. But perhaps even more relevant: Aspen has soul.

Aspen is connected to its past, and honors local heritage. As Aspenites, we work passionately to preserve and protect our natural surroundings. Our arts and cultural calendar rivals that of many big cities, and we are proud that Aspenites maintain active lifestyles while also exercising their minds with music, lectures, art and theater.

Summer 2009 marks a landmark season celebrating 60 years of Aspen's identity as a cultural destination. The world-renowned Aspen Institute and Aspen Music Festival and School were born from the 1949 Goethe Bicentennial Convocation and Festival, a meeting of the minds meant to create framework to avoid future world wars. With Aspen's stunning scenery serving as a backdrop, it became clear that this mountain town was destined for greater things than silver mining. Now home to more than 10 internationally renowned cultural organizations, modern Aspen has cemented its identity as an unrivaled venue to celebrate body, mind and spirit.

We look forward to telling you about our unique mountain town, discussing story ideas, providing more detailed information, helping arrange a visit, or just giving you a local's perspective on living in America's finest small town.

We are constantly getting new information about the spring/summer/fall season, and we will be updating these releases regularly. Please contact us if you are working on a story or would like to arrange a visit to Aspen.

Sincerely,

Maureen Poschman
