Quick news updates this week, as I work hard on grant applications and explore funding sources. I have a lot to share with you next week, after a visit with family that is here for a few days. Thanks for your patience.
The next News & Brews will be held on Thursday, November 18, at 5 p.m. at Very Nice Brewing Company in Nederland. I hope you will join me for an invigorating news discussion! I always bring extra papers, media kits, business cards and a plethora of local knowledge to share with my friends and neighbors in the Peak to Peak region.
Interested in hosting a News & Brews? Email me at publisher1977@gmail.com and we’ll figure out the next day and time!
Another quick note this week. The Pet of the Year contest has officially started this week. We have several sponsors on board already. Those include Brightwood Music, The Mountain Pages, Holistic Homestead, Hub Ned, Gold Hill General Store, the family of Justin Short, Humanity for Dogs, Lise Friis Real Estate, Chip Smith, Gold Hill General Store, Last Stand Tavern and more. If you are interested in being a sponsor, check out the info on pages 17 and 22 of this edition!
Like many media outlets, The Mountain-Ear is working hard to help rebuild business outreach in our region. While we offer these stories for free, it’s not free to us. Our journalists are out in this community every day, tracking down and verifying information about how these businesses have come through the pandemic, and how we all can help these communities rebuild. We will focus on covering news that we have not been able to focus on during Covid restrictions… really dig into local businesses and how they have survived the pandemic.

We are working on a story that could come about this month. How many people are willing to share a story about interactions with “slumlords” in Nederland? Email publisher1977@gmail.com to share your own story (your name will not be shared in the story).
As always my door is open (in Nederland and Black Hawk), my phone is on (303-810-5409) and my email gets checked regularly at publisher1977@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
