Organizer

Longmont Museum

Longmont is a diverse, multicultural and receptive city, one in which it’s easy for people to make connections and to thrive as part of the community. As home to many customs and cultures, it’s easy for residents and visitors to find fellowship with others of similar backgrounds and to explore and join in traditions that are new or foreign. The many nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations of Longmont welcome new people to become involved, and there is opportunity to find others with whom to share almost any interest. Not only do “you belong in Longmont” if you’re looking for a welcoming hometown or business location, but “when you’re in Longmont, you belong.”

  • When Dickerson was a child we’d laughingly listen to humor and parody by “the Firesign Theater”…olds who are reading may remember. Their album titled “Everything You Know is Wrong” was released in 1972. We thought it was hilarious. Who knew that generations of Americans could be convinced that was a serious pronouncement. Sad.
