Join us for a showing of "Untreated and Unheard: The Addiction Crisis in America" in honor of those we have lost to overdose in Grant County. Our community collaboration is honored to host this event at the Silco Theater on August 31, 2024, starting at 2:30 PM.

Since 2000, 1.1 million people in the U.S. have died of a preventable overdose, with nearly 110,000 lives lost to preventable overdoses in 2023 alone. The crisis is most severe for historically marginalized and under-resourced communities; low income, unhoused, Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, and people living in rural settings are dying at disproportionate rates. It doesn't have to be this way.

This fall we will be showing the award winning television Mini Series Centennial, beginning on Thursday, September 5th, and running every Thursday through November 21st.

In case you might not know, the series features an all star cast with performers such as Robert Conrad, Richard Chamberlain, Raymond Burr, Alex Karras, Bryan Keith, and many more. It is based on James Michener's novel of the same name, and traces the history of the West through the experiences of people in northern Colorado. The mini-series runs for over 26 hours, and examines such themes as the culture clash between Native peoples and white newcomers, ranging from the first fur trappers up through the Great Depression. The lives of Native peoples, mountain men, homesteaders, farmers, cattlemen and townspeople are examined through a chronological telling of their stories.

The showings will be held at the Santa Clara Armory building, with doors opening at 6 p.m., the movies beginning at 6:30. Admission is free, donations are welcome.
