Welcome!
Ski Carnival Parade Participants Needed:
Our entry in this year’s parade is extra special, as Doug Monger will be pulling our diamond hitch with his new horse and sleigh. We need volunteers to carry the banner and others to walk alongside the diamond hitch which will be formed by our elected officials. You can walk in boots or snowshoes. The theme is Celebrate our Community, so wear anything that represents Routt County to you!

More Carnival Parade Details
Thanks to those of you who volunteered to walk in the parade and/or carry the banner. We still need more Dems! In fact I just found out that some lucky people will get to ride in the sleigh! That’s first come, first serve, so reply to this message right away.
No matter whether you are skiing, walking, carrying the banner or riding, we’ll meet at 11:00am in front of the Courthouse, 5th & Lincoln, on Sunday February 7th. The parade theme is Celebrate our Community – so you can wear anything that represents Routt County, and you can walk in boots or wear snowshoes. Kids are welcome too. We hope you can join us.
Host Next Meeting?
Our February meeting will be Wednesday, February 17 at 6:00pm. Would you like to host it at your home? It’s actually quite easy. If you have room for 20-30 people, we can help with the rest. Drop me a line if you’d like to host, or if you’d like to find out more about it.

From Commissioner Diane Mitsch Bush
Diane ran across an article about wise state budgeting and TABOR in the Colorado Statesman. It is certainly enlightening, considering the severe economic straights our state is in. You can read it at

Thanks, Diane!
