Visit Estes Park, in partnership with Bosco Productions, the producer of Frozen Dead Guy Days (FDGD), is proud to award $28,394.17 in grant funding to support critical local workforce housing and childcare needs.
Visit Estes Park secured a one-time rebate through the Colorado Tourism Office, a division of the Colorado Governor’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade, to offset costs of the inaugural Estes Park FDGD Festival in 2022. In support of local ballot measure 6E, which provided a dedicated funding mechanism for workforce housing and childcare in Estes Park, the two organizations agreed to redistribute the funds to local partners working in these key areas. The decision, which impacts Estes Park’s economy and sustainability, aligns with Visit Estes Park destination stewardship initiatives.
