Upcoming Events
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Benefit Filming
One of the San Luis Valley's claims to fame is the 1989 filming of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in the Valley. The movie put the Valley’s beautiful scenery on the map and provided residents of Antonio story material to tell children and grandchildren about the day Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford came to town. The railway scenes in the movie were filmed on the Cumbres & Toltec train. In celebration of Cumbres & Toltec's 40th Anniversary, Ski Hi 6 Theatres, Alamosa Chamber, ASC Community Partnerships and Southern Colorado (SoCo) Film Commission are joining forces to create a fun filled evening that will include the viewing of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The night will start with a reception at the Grove Theatre in downtown Alamosa. Dress up like one of the characters in the movie for the reception and you might win a dinner for two at a local restaurant! Or win one of several door prizes just for showing up. Scenes from the Valley will be on display at the reception so that the observant can easily identify areas shot in the Valley.
Insider production information will be shared at the reception which starts at 5:30pm. Movie starts at 7:30pm at Ski Hi 6 Theatres in Alamosa, Colorado, August 26th. Limited tickets are available, so call or stop by Community Partnerships, the Alamosa Chamber, or 1911 Hotel in Antonito to pick up your commemoratory tickets. Cost is just $25 per ticket (includes movie and all reception events). All proceeds will go to SoCo Film Commission’s effort to bring more film production to the San Luis Valley. Call Alamosa Chamber at (719) 589-3681 for more details.
