Honor the achievements of the 10th Mountain Division this July 4 by joining High Five Access Media for live coverage of the Vail America Days Parade.

The local community access television station will be live from Lionshead with a short preshow beginning at 10:30 a.m. The parade is estimated to roll through around 10:45 a.m., with play-by-play coverage from microphone controller Tony Mauro.

The theme of this year’s parade honors the 10th Mountain Division, whose soldiers were instrumental in the creation of the ski industry and continue to serve our country today.

Want to get experience on a live television production? We need volunteer community producers, just like you, to help crew our video coverage of the Vail America Days Parade on July 4. We're looking for up to five volunteers from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the following crew positions:

- 3 camera operators to capture compelling images of the parade

- 2 production assistants to coil cable, help camera operators, and conduct man-on-the-street interviews with the crowd

The Town of Vail, in partnership with High Five Access Media, is expanding its regular video recordings of board and commission meetings with the addition of Vail Local Housing Authority proceedings. The Vail Local Housing Authority meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 3 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers. The public is welcome to attend and participate in the meetings. Once recorded, the Housing Authority meetings will be available for viewing on local cable Channel 5 and on demand from High Five Access Media at highfivemedia.org/town-vail. “The importance of the work of the Vail Local Housing Authority has never been greater as we continue our shared efforts to address the housing needs of the Vail community,” said Steve Lindstrom, chair of the Vail Local Housing Authority. “Through our partnership with High Five Access Media, we intend to bring added transparency to our meetings and encourage broader community conversation and awareness to our housing challenges.”

High Five Access Media’s television schedule has changed. As you might have noticed, we recently started filming Town of Vail Design Review Board, and Planning and Environmental Commission meetings. To ensure High Five maintains fairness, the addition of these two meetings required that we adjust our programming schedule.

High Five Access Media now makes accessing community content even easier, by offering channels on Apple TV and Roku.

These new opportunities to view High Five content on over-the-top (OTT) devices join existing chances to view, including on local cable Channel 5, Live on Five and on demand at highfivemedia.org.
