A few useful answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. There’s no subscription charge or card to enter. Some recommended activities cost money; we list the price or say when it hasn’t been confirmed.

How often will I hear from you?

One weekly issue, Sundays at 8 a.m. Mountain, plus the confirmation email when you sign up. Every issue includes an unsubscribe link.

How are details checked?

Each item names its source and shows a check date. Events are checked against host or city listings. Social posts are research leads. Unknown prices, availability, or access details are called out so you can make an informed choice.
