What makes the photographs captured by Margaret (Miggs)
and Dick Durrance in the early days of Aspen so unique is that,
at the same time they were photographing the town, they were
also playing an instrumental role in transforming the quiet
mining and ranching town into a world class ski resort and
cultural center. He then prepared the mountain for the competition, and, at
the same time, cleared trails like Ruthie’s run that would be fun

Carbondale Arts Tips for Pets
in The Launchpad Don’t leave them outside – just because they have
fur, they still get cold!
Keep their feet trimmed and clean – snow and ice
can build up between their toes
Watch out for antifreeze – even small amounts can
cause irreversible kidney failure
Dress warm – especially for short-haired or small
breed dogs
Be mindful of their age – puppies and senior pets
have a harder time with the cold
Ice is slippery – Injuries can occur with slipping
and sliding on the ice
Some ice melt can burn paws – make sure to clean
and dry your pets feet after they go for walks

CARBONDALE…
NOW WHAT? BY LYNN KIRCHNER
By now you are here, whether or not you have decided to rent or purchase, you are HERE!!! Whoo Hoo Celebrate ~ You
are living in one of the most sought after small towns in America. Recognized multiple times by national publications,
every time Carbondale Colorado gets a story written up about all the wonderful things you can do here, we are
inundated with phone calls and people contacting us to see what it takes to live here.
1
How Do I get Involved with Carbondale “Happenings” ?
Volunteering is always a great way to meet people and to pay it forward while giving back to the community. There are over 130 non profits
based in Carbondale. If you have something you excel at, and would love to share that skill, a non profit may be a great place for you to engage.
Most non profits have seasonal or annual events. Some favorites that come to mind are: Carbondale Clay Center’s Annual Cup Auction,
typically held the first Friday of December, or their summer event Cajun Clay held in July. Carbondale Council of Arts and Humanities is famous
for Mountain Fair in July and First Friday events. KDNK, our local radio station, hosts their “Labor of Love” auction in December, Summertime
sees weekly Music at Sopris Park, and year-round Music at Steve’s Guitars. Thunder River Theatre’s productions are typically sold out. Davi
Nikent, a Center for Human Flourishing has programs throughout the year that focus on health and healing. CARE is all about small animal
rescue. Mt Sopris Nordic Council takes care of Spring Gulch, our local cross country ski area which hosts Ski For Sisu in February. If you like films
we have the Film Festivals at the Crystal Theatre. What is it you love to do? Ask us – we can help you connect with the perfect organization.
2
How Do I Find Out What’s Going On?
There are Community Calendars published by several organizations and a
weekly update in The Sopris Sun newspaper. Put your name on sign up
sheets at community events. Look at the bulletin boards at all the coffee
shops and at local restaurants that post them. If in doubt, come by our
office, we typically have a finger in the pot and can find out for you.
3
How Do I Meet People?
Meeting people in Carbondale has never been easier. From the regulars in
the coffee shops, at the dog park, at the newspaper stands, at the post office,
at the gas station, your favorite restaurant, your gym, your grocery shop, your
yoga/Pilates/meditation studio… you only need to show up – SMILE and
someone will smile back and start a conversation.We help people. That’s our business.

Carbondale Parks and Rec:
Where the Dress Code is Recreation Casual
“Why do people have to wear tutus to everything?!”
One of my favorite people asks this question whenever he sees these things at races, parties, events, etc.
My response to this guy? “Because it’s fun!”
Life is too much fun (and too short) to take so seriously. Why not wear a tutu? Who decides how to dress to impress? Ever seen
a super hero kid confidently swaggering around the grocery store in his or her cape? Why should they get to have all the fun?
Aren’t we all just kids stuck in adult bodies anyway?
The two best perks of Parks and Rec are the fun and the infinite dress code. And more often than not, they go hand in hand.
Sometimes we dress to impress at races as a turkey or a Yeti. Sometimes we dress to impress at special events as Santa or the Easter
Bunny. Sometimes we dress to impress during programs with matching socks, or hats, or t-shirts with clever slogans. And yes,
sometimes we dress to impress in tutus.
Recreation should be fun. So should life. If you’re looking to outfit your day with some fun, come find us. We would love to help
incorporate more enjoyment (whether costumed or not) into your every day.
Side note: Remember that guy I mentioned above? The one that doesn’t like tutus?
He is the same guy that once wore one of my skirts to participate in the Best Legs
in a Kilt contest at Carbondale’s Annual Celtic Fest. And he has participated in
by Jessi Rochel similar fashion at least twice. So all I can say is if he can do it, you can, too!
