Acoustic Eidolon at Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts
2023-09-16 19:00 - 19:15
Fate has a magical way of bringing people together. Take the case of Joe and Hannah, aka Acoustic Eidolon. In 1995, Hannah, a studio cellist, received a call to play on a Boulder ensemble’s record. Hannah listened in amazement as directions to the recording studio told her to turn on a small road near her home, and then turn down her own street past her house!
Little did Hannah know that across the street and three houses away lived Joe, the greatest double-neck guitjo player in the world (OK, the only double-neck guitjo player in the world).
A few years after they met, Joe and Hannah both found themselves between full-time musical engagements. Joe called Hannah, saying he’d always wanted to hear the cello and the guitjo together. He had a feeling the harp-like sound of the guitjo, combined with the warmth of Hannah’s cello, would be beautiful together.
So on a snowy day in February 1998, they got together to play for the first time. What happened next was magic. Captivated by the music they created together, Joe and Hannah immediately agreed to clear out their schedules, start rehearsing full-time, and form what would become Acoustic Eidolon.
But fate wasn’t finished with Hannah and Joe. What started as a musical/business partnership and friendship blossomed into their marriage on October 14, 2001. Hannah and Joe (and sons Zach and Alex) became a family. Joe and Hannah joke that this was a marriage of convenience since they were already together all the time anyway! But anyone watching them perform can feel the love that draws them together. Their love for one another, and their passion for life, speaks through their music.

Escape Room: Let’s Taco ‘bout Books
2023-07-08 15:00 - 16:00
Presented by the PPLD/Monument Branch
Saturday, July 8, 2023
3:00pm – 4:00pm
We love tacos, so we stepped into what we thought was a taco truck. Instead, we found ourselves in the middle of what looked like a bookmobile. While we do love books as much as tacos, everything in this mobile library seems to be twisted, upside-down, and nothing makes sense. We tried to open one of the books, but they all seemed out of reach. We are in a library that won’t let us read any of the books and there are no tacos! We need to get things back in order and break out of this bizarre bookmobile to get some tacos!
Registration for this escape room event will be open from June 24, 2023 8:00 a.m. to July 8, 2023 3:00 p.m.
Allowed Ages: 12 to 18
The PPLD Monument Branch is located at 1706 Lake Woodmoor Dr. in Monument. 719.531.6333 ext. 7005 for more information.

This year’s parade theme is “The Greatest Generation – Honoring our WWII Veterans.” Our theme honors all those who served our nation, at home and abroad, at a time of great risk to the future of the world. We honor them with our parade because their effort, in the face of great personal sacrifice, protected our nation—and the world—from the threat of a ruthless government and a future without democracy. We honor them for the independence and liberty they helped to preserve so that we may celebrate a brighter future.
For the Children’s Parade there is no entry fee/registration. All children are welcomed, and parents may accompany their children. For safety reasons motorized bikes, scooters, etc. are not allowed.
For the Main Parade, there is a registration fee of $65 to help offset the cost of the parade. Bands, veteran’s & military groups, 1st responders, & school groups are exempt from the fee.
