Take in the mountain air while enjoying breathtaking views from The Terrace on Main, Buena Vista’s first and only rooftop venue, at 330 E. Main St. Long-time locals Betsy and Ritchie Molitor opened The Terrace in 2022 as an extension of their home.

experience this same hospitality at The Terrace. Sip cocktails and mocktails, frozen drinks, smallbatch brews, and locally sourced small bites—chips and dips, candied bacon, and more. Rotating beer selections on tap. Family-friendly atmosphere and drink options. Event booking is available for weddings, brunches, birthdays, bridal showers, or business gatherings in a sophisticated, elegant, and intimate setting. Visit TerraceOnMain.com

SHOP

Since 2007, farmers, craftspeople, and artisans from as far east as Pueblo to as far west as Palisade have been coming together in Salida’s Alpine Park to sell their goods to the community. To qualify as a vendor, everything must be produced from within Colorado. “A lot of these farmers and ranchers are very small. They don’t have stores or farmstands. This market is their home base. This is THE place local

Salida mixed medium artist Fay Golson works in oil, ink, graphite, pastel, gouache, encaustic, watercolor, and assemblage, fluctuating between Contemporary Realism and Abstract Expressionism. Golson’s composition, layered colors, and new interpretations of the subjects are unique. “I rarely have a vision of the finished work when beginning a painting. The artwork directs itself and finds its message,” Golson notes. Many of her larger-scale paintings

ARTare ideal for spacious environments. Golson and her husband first visited Salida in the late 1970s, where she “found the landscape, climate, and people amiable.” She still appreciates Salidans’ humanistic and broadminded “live and let live” view.

Golson’s Apogee Art Studio, in the home where she lives and works, has been in business for 17 years. Contact her at 719-221-2995 to visit her studio by appointment. View Golson’s work at Pinon Real Estate 201 F St. all summer. Visit ApogeeArtStudio.com

PLAY

Badfish co-owners Mike Harvey and Zack Hughes launched their Salida business in 2010, but Hughes has been shaping surfboards since 2007. Harvey remembers, “In the beginning, it was just two good friends having fun together on the river. As a whitewater park designer I was trying to figure out how to engineer structures [to] create surfable waves and Zack was in his garage trying to make surfboards... Badfish grew organically from that

desire.” Ultimately the duo began making boards to share with the world, riding the Colorado river surfing wave back when it all began. This year, Badfish opened its first retail shop at 148 E. First St. in Salida —locally known as the ‘blue building.’ “Salida is our home. This town is our family. We’re proud of our hometown… People all over the US, Canada, and Japan are paddling and surfing boards that say ‘Salida, CO.’” Visit BadfishSUP.com

I’m all about making things happen, so to say I don’t waste time is an understatement. Salida has been my home since 2000, and I actually spent most of my summers here while growing up. I was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder. I am both a Broker Associate and the long-term Property Manager for Pinon. A typical day? I return dozens of phone calls, show rental homes, and coordinate repairs. I shoot out hundreds of emails each week, soothe nerves, distribute information, hold hands and listen.

After graduating from college in 1994, I came to Salida for the summer to work for my brother. I intended to eventually return home to the SF Bay Area but I met Hayden and never left! I love the mountains and the community, volunteer with Heart of the Rockies Hospice, and lead the Caring Committee for the Salida Sangha. I am also curator of the Pinon office art gallery and love going on hikes around ‘S’ Mountain. Our daughters have flown their Salida nest now but raising them in this community was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Raised in Salida, I always enjoyed living in a small town and its sweet, slow-paced charm. And I've always considered Salida home. So after graduating college and living in Denver, I came back for more family time. While looking to relocate, I stumbled upon the Pinon Office Manager position. It's allowed me to explore my organization skills and creative interests and has been a great introduction to real estate. I love spending time with family and friends, plucking my ukulele, playing a game of pickle ball, and embracing the moment with others.

(719) 221-3840

A new way to fund local food, SOIL Sangre de Cristo offers zero percent interest loans to farmers, ranchers, and other food producers. The acronym SOIL stands for Slow Opportunities for Investing Locally. Investor members provide tax-deductible charitable donations to SOIL to fund the loans. Financial gifts of $250 or more allow the donor to participate in annual voting on loan recipients. When the loans are repaid, all funds revolve back into providing new loans within the community. A 501(c)3 nonprofit, SOIL members aim to build a healthy community by investing in supporting a local sustainable food future. Since SOIL Sangre de Cristo began in 2020, seven loans have been awarded. Long term, the aim of SOIL is to become a substantial lending resource for sustainable food production. Past recipients include Alpine Valley Mushrooms, Elements Mountain Compost, Badger Creek Ranch, and Elevation Farm & Orchard. To donate, apply, or learn more visit SOILSangreDeCristo.org
