Do not pass go
Feel like you want to take a risk or stir up a little trouble on the big stage in front of thousands of your possibly inebriated neighbors? Then don’t forget to checker out the 2025 Snowdown Follies auditions.
Skit auditions take place 6 p.m., Wed., Dec. 4, at the Doubletree Hotel. Folks are asked to arrive half an hour early to fill out paperwork. Chorus line auditions will be held from 12 noon – 4 p.m. Sat., Dec. 7, at The Dance Studio at the Smiley Building.
Since 1984, Snowdown Follies have enjoyed a virtual monopoly on the annual five-day, cabin-fever bacchanal. This year’s event, a board game theme (in case you didn’t get the clue), takes place Jan. 24 – Feb. 1, 2025.
Follies skits don’t necessarily have to be theme-related, with many acts a trivial pursuit of local personalities or news events. All are welcome to try out, but organizers say if you’re not organized you could be sorry.
Music must be submitted in advance and can be emailed to doug@eaglesoundstudio .com with “Follies” and the group leader’s name in the subject line.

With the darkest days of winter upon us, our most vulnerable community members won’t have to worry about being left out in the cold. This winter, the good folks at the Community Compassion Outreach Center will be hosting an emergency warming center on the most brutal nights when the temperature is forecast to drop to 15°F degrees or below.

Colorado seems to be winning the fight against the zebra mussel – for now. Recent water sampling shows no signs of the highly invasive species as of Nov. 1. The mussels and offspring (known as “veligers”) were first found in Highline Lake at Highline State Park Lake near Fruita in September 2022. They later were found to have migrated to the nearby Colorado River and Government Highline Canal.
