2021 Routt County Fair Books are in!!! Pick yours up at the Extension office!! Colorado State University Extension, Routt County 4-HThey have arrived!
Attention Extension Family! One of our county’s most notorious, multi-generation ranching family member needs our help! Miss Shari Yeager had a scary horse accident while barrel racing at Gymkhana on Thursday evening, July 8. Thankfully Shari is going to be okay, and she is recovering at home now. However she has a long road ahead of her, and she will be unable to work for several months – leaving her in a precarious position. ![]()

If you have the interest and ability to help her financially, then please consider donating by using the Alpine Bank portal below. In order to avoid costly donation pages where the proceeds are gobbled up by third party fees, we’ve set up a donation site with a direct, one-time donation via ACH (not by credit/debit card – again too many fees). 100% of your donation will go to Shari! If you’d prefer to mail Shari a donation directly then please send proceeds to PO Box 772733, Steamboat Springs CO 80477-2733.![]()

Hello all, ![]()
The NRCS has time-sensitive funds for producers coping with drought and recovering from wildfire. The deadline is July 21 and the best way to access these funds is for folks to get in touch with their local service providers. My understanding is the NRCS would really like to expend these funds in Colorado, and are looking to do so ASAP. ![]()
Please help get the word out as appropriate. ![]()
