Highlights include life and empowerment coach Sarah Gallagher, leadership and performance coach Karl Schroeder and Steamboat locals Amy Charity and Chad James.

2018 snow drawing rescheduled for Sunday due to weather

After a winter storm, which included 43 mph wind gusts, shut down the first attempt last weekend, Bud Werner Memorial Library and The Nature Conservancy have rescheduled the 2018 snow design, “Snow Stitching in Nature.” The community snow drawing will be created from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 11 at the Carpenter Ranch in Hayden.

The Yampa Valley community is invited to join in creating this large, landscape-scale design. Volunteers meet at the Carpenter Ranch, where they will learn about the landscape that is the canvas, including inspired ideas and instruction for how to delve into your own contributions to the snow pattern before we head out to the hay meadow. The plan is to walk the meadow for two hours, but folks can leave earlier or stay later if they want. Participants must bring their own snowshoes, snacks and water.

RSVPs are not mandatory but would help the organizers greatly. 

To sign up, contact the library’s adult programs coordinator Jennie Lay at jlay@steamboatlibrary.org with name, email address and phone number. For more information about the history of Steamboat’s annual community art installations that have gained global recognition, including two stunning drone videos that highlight the 2017 work, “Finding Peace in Nature,” visit steamboatlibrary.org/events.
