Snowmass Village hosted its annual John Bemis Community Potluck at the Viewline Resort Snowmass Sunday, Nov. 19. The potluck first began in the late 1980s as a small gathering at the Snowmass Chapel and has since grown to an event that hosts hundreds of people every year.

The menu included traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and community members were encouraged to bring side dishes to share. The community was also encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for Harvest For Hunger, a local non-profit working to reduce food waste in the Roaring Fork Valley and partners with local agencies to provide food to those in need.
