Elkstone farm provides a unique opportunity for stargazing because of its rural location and few surrounding lights. Join us for an evening of exploring the stars with Professor Paul McCudden of Colorado Mountain College. You will have an opportunity to look through telescopes at celestial phenomena, weather depending, as well as enjoy an indoor slide show with Professor McCudden regardless of the weather. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a multi-course organic farm dinner prepared by Elkstone's chef, Russell Goodman, in the comfort of our beautiful greenhouse under the canopy of figs and citrus.

Just as our alpine setting makes for a special place to grow vegetables, our high elevation and light-free surroundings should provide a perfect backdrop for exploring the sky over Steamboat. We eagerly hope you can come join us for a night of celestial exploration.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR THIS EVENT ONLY:

We have had an unfortunate turn of events in that our astronomer, Paul McCudden, had a death in the family and will be out of town for the services during our planned event. We weren’t able to find another astronomer to take his place, but we hope to have him back for future dinners.

I put on my creative hat and found an alternate solution that I think will be grand. One of our Steamboat neighbors, Jody Feeley, is part of the duo Chamberlin Birch with her singer-songwriter friend Brad Rasmussen. They play a unique style of mountain Americana folk with tight harmonies and creative instrumentation. I know many of us have been missing live music during the pandemic and it feels great to support our local stars.
