A “Community Conversation” with the two candidates running for Crested Butte mayor sponsored by the Crested Butte News, KBUT and Laccolith Media was held October 16 on the Somrak Plaza patio along Elk Avenue.

Good Morning Highway 135 Travelers! This coming Tuesday, October 21, 2025, we will be on the road again. Look for us on the road between 8 and 11 am, starting around mile marker 23 (Hidden River) and heading South to mile marker 17 (Danni Ranch). Pro tip: if the cows are crossing one of the 2 bridges when you meet us...don't try to cross with them. I promise stopping off the bridge will make it faster for everyone. We realize this is a tough time of day, so plan accordingly and understand that, just like you, we also have more than one thing to do that day. As always, slow down, be safe, and enjoy the ride!

There has been no shortage of discussion over whether the town of Crested Butte should transfer ownership of the Center for the Arts building to that organization’s non-profit board…and there will be more. A long discussion last week indicated some Crested Butte town council support of varying degrees for the Center’s request, but no resolution was reached so there will be another meeting later this fall to discuss the issue…again.
