Estes Park Sister Cities Association (EPSCA) is excited to announce that a seven-person delegation from our Sister City of Monteverde, Costa Rica, will be visiting Estes Park from September 29th through October 8th, the first official visit by a Monteverde group since before the Covid-19 pandemic. The volunteer board of directors for EPSCA is finalizing details for their visit. Mayor Gary Hall and the Town Board have extended an invitation to the delegation to a “Bienvenidos” dinner on September 30th, the first full day of their visit. EPSCA is also grateful to the management of Estes Park Center/YMCA of the Rockies for providing housing and some meals to the group.
Due to visa issues with the U.S. Department of State and other complications, the dates of the visit had to be cancelled and changed three times before the September 29th-October 8th dates could be arranged. Now, the EPSCA board has just a couple of weeks to plan for some lunches and evening meals in homes, activities, transportation, and meetings with local agencies about topics of mutual interest. The visit will also include the signing of a formal renewal of the Sister City partnership by mayors of both towns.
Mayor Hall has generously offered to provide a meal to the delegation. If you’re willing and able to invite the seven visitors to a meal at your home, please contact our EPSCA secretary, Barbara Werner, at barbarawer@…
