Welcome to Mountain Grown Public Radio!

KVNF is grassroots, creative, volunteer based, community oriented public radio serving Western Colorado since 1979.

Haiti Relief

Disaster relief groups working in Haiti say that what they need is donations of money rather than physical items like food or clothing. Those wanting to donate to help out with disaster relief in Haiti can do so through the Red Cross. There are a number of ways to donate: online at redcross.org/donatemoney, by calling 800-RED-CROSS, or you can donate ten dollars to the Red Cross Haiti effort by texting the word HAITI to 90999.

Great time at the Kelley Hunt Concert !!

A big thanks to Dave Bowman of Blue Sky Music Presents for another fantastic concert benefitting Hospice and KVNF. The Donny Morales Blues Band opened the show with a bang, followed by headliner Kelley Hunt who ROCKED the Montrose Pavilion with her unique style of blues. Thanks to all the sponsors who helped support the show, to everyone who came out to the Pavilion Saturday night for the show and especially thanks to Blue Sky Music Presents. Here are a few shots of the fun. To see more pictures on this and other KVNF events, visit our online Photo Gallery.
