Thank You! and Farewell!
January, 2026: Another year has passed and we'd be remiss if we didn't recognize and say "thank you" and "best wishes" to our friend and former webmaster for this site, Sam Crocker.
Sam was instrumental to developing and maintaining our webpage in 2024 and 2025. She and her family have relocated out of state, but we hope to see them when they visit Colorful Colorado in the future. Thanks, Sam!
