Zoe Dohnal (Telluride Town manager)"As a parent with kids in the Telluride School District, I’m constantly reminded how fortunate we are to have such a dedicated and innovative public school system in our corner of the world. Events like Party in the Park are a perfect reflection of what makes this community so special—joyful, creative, and deeply committed to supporting one another. From world-class food to silent disco and community games, it was an unforgettable day. And more importantly, it raised critical funds at a time when our schools are facing major challenges. Supporting TEF is an investment in both the future of our children and the long-term vitality of Telluride—and I’m proud to be part of that effort."
