What happened

It’s the first weekend of Pride month, folks, so we’ve rounded up the picnics, parades and pride prom nights to start things off right.

Why it matters

This week you’ll also find an annual Bluegrass festival in Palisade, extreme sports in Vail at the GoPro Mountain Games and a storytelling hour at The Holiday Theater in Denver.

Common ground

In Fort Collins, the Poudre Library and Center for Creativity will host interactive activities all Saturday long, like printmaking, nature journaling, yoga classes as well as a general crafting zone.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
