However, it is the students participating in the show that are making the production seem just as big as the New York version, she says. “[ e fashion show] is completely student run,” Engle-Enright said. “My participation in the show is very hands o .” Engle-Enright has been working with the fashion show for about four years, so she understands how important it is that students get a lesson in fashion design and show production as close to the real industry as possible. “ e students began with a budget of zero,” she said. “It is up to them to nd nancial support for the entire show, on top of planning and creating their clothing designs. is is done mainly through sponsorships, both in and out of the community.” is year, the show has some big name sponsors, like UGG Boots and Mercedes Benz. In addition to developing their own unique fashion lines, the students must come up with a complimenting show set up, including lights and music.

  • Mining Camps: Myth Vs
    Mining Camps: Myth vs. Reality BY DUANE ALLAN SMITH Hidden in the vastness of the Rocky Mountains survive skeletal remains of what once were live, restless mining camps. People lived, worked, played, and died in some as early as 1859 and in others even later than the turn of the century. Mark Twain, in his delightful book Roughing It, has left a vigorous account of what life was like then. Although the topic of his examination, Virginia City, Nevada, was slightly west of the Rocky Mountains, the description he gave holds true for all camps going through "flush times." Virginia had grown to be the "livest" town, for its age and population, that America had ever produced. The sidewalks swarmed with people.... The streets themselves were just as crowded with quartz wagons, freight teams and other vehicles. The procession was endless .... Joy sat on every countenance, and there was a glad, almost fierce intensity in every eye, that told of the money-getting schemes that were seething in every brain and the high hope that held sway in every heart.1 Money was plentiful, Twain noted, and every individual considered himself potentially a mining nabob. Street fights, wide-open gambling palaces, saloons, theaters, and hurdy-gurdy houses enlivened the scene, and there was even "some talk of building a church." These were people busily engaged in that most popular of all American vocations, making a fortune, but they were also participating in the joy of spending it with relish. Life here had the quality of a frontier adventure alloyed with the gambling excitement of mining.

  • Ren1en1brances of South Park by George W
    19 Ren1en1brances of South Park By George W. Champion* South Park in Park County has an area of approximately 1,500 square miles, extending west from the foot of Kenosha Pass for about twenty-five miles and from the range north of Jefferson to about sixty miles south, and a view of the Park from Kenosha Pass in the summer when the meadows are green and especially in the fall of the year when the aspen trees are in color, is a most beautiful sight. I was born in South Park in 1884, at the Herman Litmer Ranch, about a mile north of Jefferson. Apparently Mother was staying with the Litmers at that time. Soon after I was born, perhaps a year or two, Mother and Father moved to Denver. My first schooling was in Denver. In 1890, we moved back to Jefferson. I was a little over six years old at that time and went to school at Jefferson, finishing the eighth grade there. My Father, George Champion, was engaged in the mercan­ tile business in Jefferson, having the general store and post office. The population of Jefferson was never large and prob­ ably never exceeded seventy-five to eighty permanent resi­ dents. But, the general store, saloon, blacksmith shop, and harness shop drew a constant flow of business from the sur­ rounding ranches whose industry was hay and cattle. At that time there were some nice horses raised, but very few sheep and hogs. Father was also agent for the South Park Hay Company, an association formed by the ranchers.

  • CCI Foundation 2019 Summer Conference Womens History CCI
    1 Women Commissioners Breakfast CCI, June 4, 2019, Keystone, CO, (Sallie Clark 719-651-5030 [email protected]) 15 min. presentation Introduction Slide 1 This morning we are going to talk about the contributions women have made to our history, culture and society. This year’s theme for Women’s History Month, which was in March of each year is “Visionary Women” and each of us have stories to tell in our counties, so--- I’d like to share with you some historical “Visionary Women” and their accomplishments from our state, Colorado: Slide 2 (Carrie Holly, Clara Cressingham, Frances Klock) In 1894, three women were sworn in to serve in Colorado’s state legislature, Carrie Holly, Clara Cressingham and Frances Klock. While the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, women gained the right to vote in Colorado, passed by the people during a general election in 1893. Amazingly, these three women - Carrie, Clara and Frances, were elected to office before they could even vote for themselves! Carrie Holly passed a bill allowing mothers the same rights to children as fathers. She supported many Populist bills, including a “local options” bill to regulate the sale of liquor in club houses, a bill to abolish capital punishment, and she opposed a church taxation bill. Clara Cressingham was the youngest of these three newly elected legislators. She was the first woman to fill a leadership position in an American legislature and is credited with introducing the first law introduced by a woman in the United States. It set a government–provided bounty of $3 per ton on sugar beets raised in the state, and sold to a factory within its borders, thus boosting the budding Colorado sugar beet industry.
