ritz owner grant prill brought L.A. style tapas to Salida in 2010 — in spite of almost being scared off by Colorado’s chilly winters. Clearly our quiet little river town was ready for big city cuisine; ever since Prill opened his doors, it’s been

tough to get a table at The Fritz most nights. Nine years later, he’s come to love Salida for what Prill calls the “perfect trifecta:” skiing, fishing and biking on the same day. Prill’s aim is to make good food affordable, even in a small mountain town — and there’s no

denying he does just that. Don’t miss the Bacon Wrapped Dates, Seared Ahi Wontons or the Grilled Romaine. Indoor and outdoor seating available, daily specials and gluten free items on the menu at 113 E. Sackett Ave. For more info visit thefritzsalida.com.

OU WON'T FIND ANY TVS on the wall at Salida’s hometown brewery, Soulcraft Brewing. Instead, owners Mike LaCroix and Tom Price created a space for patrons to experience community conversation and connection, while enjoying some of the best craft beer this side of the Collegiates. With 16 beers on tap, brewery offerings range from lager

to stout- Soulcraft has a beer for hop heads and sweet tooths alike. Don’t miss the Green Chile Ale made with Pueblo chiles. Two Tuesdays a month, Soulcraft hosts a popular, fun and lively Trivia Night from 6–8 p.m. Weekends bring live music to the Soulcraft stage at 248 W. Rainbow Blvd. Pet friendly patio.

rtist Paulette Brodeur says her favorite painting is always the one she’s just finished. Since 1994, Brodeur has been in Salida creating acrylics on canvas, mixed media on two ply paper, and oil on canvas works in a style ranging from impressionistic to abstract. Brodeur’s work has shown in several galleries internationally; she’s currently working on paintings of people

and landscapes, and a series of abstracts called "Google This.”

Brodeur describes her gallery as an authentic Salida business housing an artist who is true to her own personality and spirit.

She loves living here because even with the recent growth, Salida is still a great small town, and offers the added bonus of being able to live in the mountains nearby. Visit brodeurart.com or stop by 133 E. 2nd Street.

Pinon Personalities Kathy Armstrong (719) 221-9076 | karmstrong@pinonrealestate.com As a graduate of Boston University with a degree in Physical Therapy, I am detail oriented, have boundless energy, and can multi-task with the best of them. I’ve always had a passion for real estate and first obtained my brokers license in Ohio in 2000. I’m at my best when acting as the eyes and ears for my clients, and as Realtors we get the first and best looks at properties that come on the market. I serve as a foundation board member for Starpoint, who provides essential services for people with cognitive and physical challenges.

Kim Bouldin (719) 539-7135 | kbouldin@pinonrealestate.com After getting licensed in 2012, joining the Pinon team was a natural for me. I’m a fierce lover of the outdoors who approaches life with enthusiasm, humor and commitment. I’ve spent the last 19 years raising two healthy, happy, outdoorsy kids and am not afraid to take direction, go out on a limb, and work hard for you. I’m especially familiar with Salida’s resources and am actively connected on many social, school, parenting and business levels.

THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY, TRUST, AND SECURITY.

(719) 221-4637 | hale@pinonrealestate.com I came to the Arkansas River Valley over a decade ago in search of three things: Genuine community, to live in proximity to real wilderness, and to buy my first house. What I found was home, and I’m passionate about helping you do the same. I believe in representation and education. I leverage my local knowledge and experience to provide first-rate representation, and use a combination of historical data, current insights and market trends to help clients take educated steps towards realizing their real estate goals.

(719) 239-0206 | adeanda@pinonrealestate.com I first came to Colorado in 2001 to follow the adventure and recreational opportunities the Collegiate Peak mountains offer.

Pinon Personalities Rich Edgington (719) 539-0200 | redgington@pinonrealestate.com I am the founding partner and co-owner of Pinon Real Estate Group.

Born in Montana and growing up in the small town of Black Forest, Colo., I moved to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in my twenties to start a business and family. After twenty years of Texas traffic and heat, I longed to return to Colorado. Salida provided the ideal combination of climate, scenery, recreation, and small town values for my wife and I to raise our four children. I love fly fishing, enjoying outdoor time with my family, and driving vintage Porsche sports cars.

JoDee Kane (719) 539-0200 | jkane@pinonrealestate.com I’ve been with Pinon almost since the very beginning. The year 2006 was very busy for me; I moved, got married, and started my new job here as Office Manager. In 2013 I decided to get my Real Estate License. When the opportunity to take on the role of General Manager arose, I readily accepted. Born and raised in the Meeker area, I fell in love with Salida during multiple visits and after meeting my husband Shawn, a thirdgeneration native. I feel a deep connection to the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity that underpin everything we do here at Pinon.

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.

Janine Marr (719) 221-1838 | jmarr@pinonrealestate.com While I’m new to real estate, I’m not new to Salida. Living and working here as the owner of Bangs! Hair Salon for more than 16 years has given me a deep understanding of the community and its unique culture. People who know me say my compassion and strong connection to clients will translate perfectly to the real estate industry.

They also say I’m a pro at getting things done. While not working, I love spending time with my husband Mike and daughter Jamison on Salida’s beautiful nine-hole golf course.

Hayden Mellsop (719) 530-8333 | hmellsop@pinonrealestate.com Born in New Zealand, I have lived in Salida since 1996, and have worked at Pinon since 2006. Prior to a career in real estate, I guided fly anglers in New Zealand and Colorado for over twenty years. Together with Kym, I raise my two daughters, enjoy fly fishing, mountain biking and the sense of community that comes with living in a small town. I am a board member and past board chair of Realtors of Central Colorado and the Central Colorado Conservancy.

Kym Mellsop (719) 207-3077 | kmellsop@pinonrealestate.com After graduating from Smith College in ’94, I came to Salida for the summer to work for my brother, intending to return home to the SF Bay Area, but I met Hayden, and never left! I bring to Pinon a love of the mountains and the community. When not working in real estate I 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. I love going on hikes around ‘S’ Mountain as a break during my work week.

Our daughters have flown their Salida nest now but raising them in this community was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Watching people discover the Arkansas Valley and fall in love for the same reasons I call Salida home has made me even more passionate about the community. You may recognize me from around town as the founder and former owner of Albritton Ski Co, The Fritz Tapas Bar in downtown Salida or helping my lovely wife Ysabella at her shop Fay & Maye. I feel very fortunate to call Salida home and for the opportunity to work with such a great team at Pinon Real Estate Group.

My boyfriend and I moved to Salida in 2017 and fell in love with the mountains and constant sunshine. I then stumbled into the perfect job at Pinon which challenges my creative side and keen attention to detail. I enjoy scenic drives, photography, cats, and tending to my plants. If you call Pinon, I’ll most likely be the one to answer.

Connecting with people and listening is key for a smooth real estate transaction. With over 30 years of real estate experience, as well as mortgage brokering, appraisals and real estate investing, I’m always ready to share my passion for Salida, its amazing sense of community and pristine outdoor spaces.

My husband Keith and I knew Salida was where we wanted to live after our very first visit. We’ve raised two children here and can’t imagine a better place to raise a family. I’m in my second term as a Salida school board member, and I helped start the Chaffee County Boys & Girls Clubs.

Learn more and volunteer: salidamountaintrails@gmail.com

Guidestone Colorado is a nonprofit organization that is growing a vibrant agricultural future through education, community building, and partnerships. The organizations strategies and programming are founded upon the belief that if individuals are exposed to local farms and ranches, that results in appreciation of where our food comes from. As a result, those individuals will make better choices that support and increase the capacity of the local food system.

Salida Mountain Trails is an all volunteer organization committed to building and maintaining sustainable, non-motorized, multiuser trails on public lands near the city of Salida. Their primary mission is to create a mapped and signed network of linked trails. They have created over 45 miles of trails to date with more in the works. They also have a core commitment to maintain and sustain all trails around Salida — those they built as well as those already established.

A LITTLE HELP (719) 966-7366 office@alittlehelp.org A Little Help is a community organization empowering seniors in their homes while engaging with the community. With just a phone call, A Little Help connects elders with services and resources as they navigate the unknowns of aging including: rides to the doctor, minor home repair, yard work, technology trouble-shooting, caregiver respite and more. The Chaffee County Team launched in Fall 2015 and they have since engaged over 300 neighbors as volunteers and community supporters.
