- Three Wire Winter
- In 1974, Bill McKelvie, Steamboat Springs High School US History teacher, was a member of the Steamboat Springs Centennial-Bicentennial Committee who wanted to capture the oral histories of Routt County citizens and publish them in a magazine in time for the celebration. Bill agreed to facilitate the project through his classes during the 1974/75 school year. A dozen students, primarily from ranching families, were allowed to work independently to interview their grandparents and write their stories, but after one year, it became clear that more structure and funding was needed if they were to produce a magazine in time for the Bicentennial. In the Spring of 1975, two writers secured a federal grant and one from Foxfire Magazine. George Sauer, Steamboat Springs Superintendent of Schools, approved the $5000 necessary to match the grant requirements and authorized a two-hour class, led by Bill and Tanna (Eck) Brock, Steamboat Springs High School English teacher, for the 1975/76 school year. The Foxfire grant not only provided much needed funding, but also offered extensive training. Before school started in the Fall of 1975, students and teachers who worked on the actual Foxfire Magazine traveled to and spent two weeks in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, teaching local high school students and teachers how to conduct and record oral history interviews, create transcripts, take and develop photographs, write articles, and finally publish a professional magazine. After much discussion over the future magazine’s name, Three Wire Winter, once proposed, was the obvious choice for Routt County, Colorado. The first issue went to press the winter of 1975/76 and for 12 years Three Wire Winter delighted readers by featuring the lives of Routt County's citizens. In all, 24 issues were published before this program ended. When the project came to an end in 1989, Bill McKelvie gifted all of the records to the Tread of Pioneers Museum and asked that they preserve the collection for future generations. After preserving the documents and digitizing the oral history recordings, the Tread of Pioneers Museum partnered with the Bud Werner Memorial Library in 2015 to take this historic archive to the next level. Three Wire Winter and its wealth of oral history interviews, magazine articles, photos and other documents are now searchable through the Routt County Digital Archive.

- Tim + Richard
- Tim Jennings and Richard Crespin have been playing together for 6 years, first as the rowdy, raw, rock group, No Cash Value. The band had a great following, but the dynamics of a large band made practice and gig planning difficult. As their first band began to lose steam, Tim and Richard wanted to continue playing at a somewhat smaller scale. Both have extensive experience setting up for shows, with Richard traveling across the western slope setting up large venues for Snob Productions and Tim handling the arduous task of hosting karaoke and formerly a local radio show. With their knowledge, they felt they could raise the bar for both sound and light production, even at a smaller scale as a duo.
