On Saturday, September 18th, Paonia’s Paradise Theater continues their unique events scheduling with a chance to get primed for the coming winter while getting pumped up watching a film about snowboarding and then working off all of the pent-up energy by dancing the rest of the night away. Two films will open up the evening. The first, “Generations” is a climate-oriented film followed by “Tailgate Alaska” a film about extreme snowboarding featuring X Games and Olympic Snowboarders in Valdez, Alaska. The films will be followed by live music with Salem, a band specializing in high energy, funky, jazz and hip-hop.
Salem has performed nationally alongside acts such as Keller Williams, Pato Banton, De La Soul, Sweatshop Union, The Meters (PBS), Bone Thugs N Harmony, DJ Logic, Stanton Moore and Will Bernard, Hells Belles, Mama's Cookin, Tab Benoit, Rebirth Brass Band, The Motet, Steve Earle and Zilla.
Todd Anders Johnson, the lead singer and drummer for the band, founded the Risan Project in 2009 as a means to syncrinze the realms of music, film and performance art with educational and demonstrative events that incorporate alternative energy and sustainability themes. The Risan Project tours feature live music concerts, film premiers and presentations that entertain and inspire reflection on the current state of the environment and sustainable alternatives. Since 2009, the Risan Project has been engaging audiences at over 100 events throughout the US and Canada.

The band’s music was also featured in Warren Miller's film snowsports film, "Off the Grid." To find out more about The Risan Project, check out their website at www.risanproject.com.

The Paradise Theatre presents the 2nd Annual District 81428 Fashion and Design Show: The Call of the Styled
during the Mountain Harvest Festival, Friday, September 24th. Clothing
and accessories will be available throughout the Mountain Harvest
Festival weekend at the District 81428 Fashion and Design booth in
Paonia Town Park. VIP tickets are limited and include an hors d’ oeuvre
and drink reception prior to the show as well as reserved runway
seating and cocktail service during the show. All tickets to the
fashion show include a dance party with DJs Skip and Patty following the
show.
This year’s show, themed, The Call of the Styled,
presents the work of North Fork Valley designers, models and performing
artists as they showcase their take on apparel as an expression of
one’s personal, natural style and unique expression of self. Tapping
into the “wild” side as well as to the playful and symbolic use of
clothing as costume, this show highlights the trans formative nature of
fashion and design. It is a call to be oneself, to be daring in dress
as well as to appreciate the subtleties between fashion as a statement
and collective culture and style as a manifestation of individual
personality and self-expression.
Showcased
on the runway are local, North Fork Valley, designers and artists who
create hand-made, hand-picked apparel and accessories, often using
recycled materials to create items that reveal their skill and unique
vision and approach to fashion and design. Also represented are the
models and performing artists as “muse” to the embodiment of the shape,
texture, color and line of each piece of attire. Without the body and
the personality entrusted within the human form, items of clothing are
inanimate, paltry pieces of material hanging from a rack or shoved into a
drawer or closet. It is how an individual conveys his or her personal
style and way of being in the world that transfigures the clothing and
inspirits it to life.
The
Annual District 81428 Fashion and Design show is committed to
showcasing the ingenuity and unique style in the North Fork Valley. It
is a summons of creativity, opulence, and self-expression through
fashion and design. This year, it is an invitation to the individual
and to the community as a whole to explore their wild side and wander
through the possibilities en treasured in their own unique nature and
sense of style.
Tickets

Theatre Box Office, KVNF, Terra Firma and The Rose as well as Online at www.paradiseofpaonia.com. For more information, contact Regna Jones via email at paoniaparadise@gmail.com or by phone at 970-260-4321.
