“Fare you well, fare you well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul” My time as Fair Director is soon to end, but it is with joy and confidence that I pass this fantastic job on to the new moons, Deb, Aly, Alta, and James. I have been honored and humbled to have been able to steer this amazing community ship for 19 years. I owe it to a wonderful town and a solid friend and cohort in this fair, Mark Taylor.

The fair is dedicated to the one and only, Lee Ann Eustis. She arrived in this valley in 1965 and immediately adopted the “Carbondale” spirit. Lee Ann worked and loved Colorado Rocky Mountain School and it was that dedication that led her to the Carbondale Mountain Fair. In the early days CRMS was a very active participant in the fair and Lee Ann became a top volunteer. She participated in set-up, womanned the info booth, judged pies, including last year, and kept everyone feeling good with her generosity and smile. For many years she ran the Coca Cola Booth, which was a big fundraiser for the arts council. Her dedication to Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities included a stint as Board President and she was always a current member. Her joy for life was infectious. There are many memories of Mountain Fair and Lee Ann, and those that have them should share them this weekend. Her presence will be strong here.

Mountain Fair Sustainability
REUSE by bringing your own water bottles, plates and utensils to the fair; take them home and wash them. It’s like camping! Due to COVID we cannot reuse cups in the cantina. We are heartbroken about this but want everyone to be healthy. REUSE MORE TO USE LESS! • We do not sell bottled water at the fair. We have several WATER STATIONS full of clean mountain water marked with red and white water signs. Please bring your own reusable container and keep it with you.
In commemoration of the 51st Mountain Fair, the locally-owned EverGreen ZeroWaste will be taking a larger role in helping Mountain Fair to responsibly divert waste from the local landfills. The compost from the fair will be processed less than 20 miles away at the Pitkin County Compost Center. This commercial-scale operation allows the materials to be broken down into usable soil for our valley, once again completing the carbon cycle of life. That being said, reuse is still the key to reducing our waste and lowering our environmental fair-print! If we love our Mother Earth, it is now time for all of us to take personal responsibility in keeping her healthy. REDUCING and REUSING are important steps toward a zerowaste culture. While composting and recycling help, they are secondary. A BIG THANK-YOU to Evergreen Zero Waste for supporting our Green Team efforts. How can we all do this at Mountain Fair? Simply by using fewer single-use, disposable cups, plates and utensils. You can accomplish this by being aware of a few Green Team operations:
• If you are finished with your program, please promote REUSE by leaving it at the Entrance/Exits for others to use. COMPOSTING & RECYCLING are the next best personal steps at the fair. Please be part of this solution, not the problem, by assisting the volunteer-powered Green Team with proper sorting at the waste stations. • Sort your waste in the wellmarked containers at our waste stations where you will find friendly volunteers. Just about anything you purchase from a food vendor goes in the green compost bins. All food scraps, utensils, plates, bowls, cups and paper products are compostable. • ALL beer cups are COMPOSTABLE! We thank our zero-waste community partners: Evergreen Zero Waste, Pitkin County Compost Facility, Town of Carbondale, the Carbondale Environmental Board and YOU for being part of the Green Team! Learn more at the Green Team tent.

Sustentabilidad de Mountain Fair En conmemoración de la 51ª Feria de la Montaña, la empresa local EverGreen ZeroWaste asumirá un papel más importante para ayudar a la Feria de la Montaña a desviar responsablemente los residuos de los basureros locales. El compost de la feria se procesará a menos de 20 millas de distancia en el Centro de Compostaje del Condado de Pitkin. Esta operación a escala comercial permite que los materiales se descompongan en suelo utilizable para nuestro valle, completando una vez más el ciclo de vida del carbón. Dicho esto, la reutilización sigue siendo la clave para reducir nuestros residuos y disminuir nuestra
huella ecológica. Si amamos a nuestra Madre Tierra, ya es hora de que todos asumamos nuestra responsabilidad personal para mantenerla sana. REDUCIR y REUTILIZAR son pasos importantes hacia una cultura de cero residuos. Aunque el compostaje y el reciclaje ayudan, son secundarios. Un GRAN AGRADECIMIENTO a Evergreen Zero Waste por apoyar los esfuerzos de nuestro Equipo Verde. ¿Cómo podemos hacer esto en la Feria de la Montaña? Simplemente utilizando menos vasos, platos y utensilios desechables de un solo uso. Puedes lograrlo si eres consciente de algunas operaciones del Equipo Verde:
REUTILIZA trayendo tus propias botellas de agua, platos y utensilios a la feria; llévalos a casa y lávalos. ¡Es como acampar! Debido a COVID no podemos reutilizar los vasos en la cantina. Nos duele esto, pero queremos que todo el mundo esté sano. ¡REUTILIZAR MÁS PARA USAR MENOS! - No vendemos agua embotellada en la feria y tenemos varias ESTACIONES DE AGUA llenas de agua limpia de la montaña marcadas con señales de agua rojas y blancas. Por favor, trae tu propio recipiente reutilizable y manténlo contigo.
- Si
no utilizarás mas tu programa, por favor promueve la REUTILIZACIÓN dejándolo en la Entrada/Salida para que otros lo usen. El COMPOSTAJE y el RECICLAJE son los siguientes pasos personales en la feria. Por favor, forma parte de esta solución, no del problema, ayudando al Equipo Verde, formado por voluntarios, a clasificar adecuadamente los residuos en las estaciones.
compostaje. Todos los restos de comida, utensilios, platos, tazones, vasos y productos de papel son compostables. - ¡TODOS los vasos de cerveza son COMPOSTABLES! Agradecemos a nuestros socios de la comunidad de cero residuos: Evergreen Zero Waste, Pitkin County Compost Facility, Town of Carbondale, Carbondale Environmental Board y a ti por formar parte del Eqipo Verde. Pasa por el toldo del Equipo Verde para saber más.
- Clasifica tus residuos en los contenedores bien señalizados en nuestras estaciones de residuos, donde encontrarás amables voluntarios. Casi todo lo que compres a un vendedor de comida puede desecharse en los recipiestes verdes de 10 • 2022 MOUNTAIN FAIR • Published by The Sopris Sun • #MOUNTAINFAIR on social media.

From the Stage Designer: Loren Wilder
PC: Sarah Overbeck
Mark Taylor Passes the Torch
“There are no problems, only solutions.” This has been the guiding principal behind Mark Taylor’s tenure as Carbondale Mountain Fair Production Director. “Mark is the first guy onsite waiting for the truck filled with all the fair infrastructure to roll in on Tuesday eve, and he is the last guy there as the truck drives away on Monday,” says Amy Kimberly, Mountain Fair Director, “The fair doesn’t run without Mark.” Or at least, it hasn’t run without Mark for the last 20 years, but those days are soon to morph into stories and memories. Both Taylor and Kimberly are passing on their knowledge, passion and wisdom to a new group of directors, but their energy and love will still remain a part of the weekend. Mark Taylor began as a volunteer in the 90’s, helping Mike Teal build the KDNK Beer Booth. “I also helped Thomas Lawley (the director at the time) with some backstage stuff”. Geoff Legg held the position of Production Supervisor but when he left town, Taylor was a natural to move into the position and has held it ever since. He was there when Lawley left after 17 years. He was there for the interim director, and he was there when Kimberly came on in 2004. It was Taylor who ensured the spirit of the fair continued with each change. “I remember him telling me that even though Carbondale Arts put on the fair it belonged to the community”, remembers Kimberly, “The three things I needed to know were: Its got to be inclusive, its got to be free and we can’t get overrun by sponsorship”. That spirit continues today. Thank you Mark Taylor for all you have given this community!
The symbolism of the All Seeing Eye used this year on the Mountain Fair stage is often misunderstood. In all truth this symbol from antiquity represents the invisible mind’s eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight. It represents the seat of our intuition and imagination. To manifest reality we must combine the imagination with the desires of our heart. What we are seeing on stage this year is the alchemical reality of how thoughts and feelings affect our three dimensional existence. Have a wonderful 51st Fair, Carbondale, you know how to use your high vibes to make something wonderful!

NO TRACE – CARE FOR COLORADO PRINCIPLES
01
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
■ Our state and federal agencies manage 42 percent of Colorado’s majestic landscape, and our cities and counties maintain even more. Learn about and respect the spaces we all share. ■ Stay back from the pack. Find your way to less-visited and off-peak destinations to minimize down time and maximize your connection with special places. ■ Bring along reusable water bottles or hot drink tumblers to limit waste and stay hydrated in our dry climate.
04
TRASH THE TRASH
■ Pack it in, pack it out. Or pick it up to leave a place better than you found it. Put litter, even crumbs, peels and cores in your nearest waste/recycling bin. ■ Wash yourself, your dog or whatever else needs cleaning at least 200 feet from waterways, and use biodegradable soap. A bubble bath is no treat for fish. ■ If you have to poo, walk at least 70 steps from trails, water and people. Dig a cat hole 6 inches deep, do your thing in the hole, cover it and pack out your TP. Or, use a wag bag (a disposable bag found in most outdoor stores) so you can pack out your waste.
05
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE
■ Colorado’s low humidity has perks, but can create dry, dangerous conditions. Keep campfires small and manageable to avoid sparking wildfires. ■ When putting out a fire, water it until you can handle the embers. Never let a fire burn unattended. ■ Use care when smoking in Colorado’s dry climate. Always put cigarettes out completely, and don’t leave your butts behind. ■ Always check for local fire restrictions.
02
STICK TO TRAILS
■ With 39,000 marked trails and 13,000 designated campsites, there’s no need to venture beyond. By sticking to these areas and camping at least 200 feet from lakes, rivers and streams, you’re helping natural areas stay natural. ■ Even though shortcuts can be tempting, please don’t take them. A few extra strides on the path will protect plants and the homes of the true locals.
03
LEAVE IT AS YOU FIND IT
■ Leave plants, rocks and historical items as you find them so others experience the joy of discovery. ■ Any of our 750 different species of wildflowers will live forever in a photo. Snap away, but only with a camera. ■ Colorado is beautiful all on its own. Building structures or campsites on public land isn’t cool. Keep it pristine for everyone to enjoy. ■ Treat all living things with respect. Carving or hacking plants and trees may kill or disfigure them.
06
KEEP WILDLIFE WILD
■ Colorado is home to tens of thousands of furry, scaly and feathered creatures. To keep them – and you – safe, don’t approach them. ■ It is not adorable to feed wild animals. You could alter natural behaviors, exposing them to predators or even euthanasia. ■ Keep your furry buddies leashed when enjoying dog-friendly trails, and pack out their waste. All the way to a trashcan.
07
SHARE OUR TRAILS & PARKS
■ Chances are you’re not out in nature to people watch, so try out the lesser-known paths and sites. ■ Silence your cell phone before stepping into nature, and speak softly without using the speaker function. ■ Be considerate when passing others on the trails and yield to the uphill hiker and biker – they need the momentum. ■ Listen to nature. Keep your voice and music soft so all can enjoy the peace of Colorado.

32 • 2022 MOUNTAIN FAIR • Published by The Sopris Sun • #MOUNTAINFAIR on social media.
NO DEJES 04 RASTRO –
TIRA LA BASURA
■ No ensucies o recoge tu basura para dejar un lugar mejor de como lo encontraste. Coloca la basura, incluso las migajas, las cáscaras y las semillas en el bote de basura/reciclaje más cercano.
PRINCIPIOS PARA EL CUIDADO DE COLORADO
01
INFÓRMATE ANTES DE VIAJAR
■ Nuestras agencias federales y estatales administran el 42 por ciento del imponente entorno natural de Colorado, y nuestras ciudades y condados mantienen todavía más. Conozca los espacios que compartimos y respételos. ■ Aléjate de la multitud. Busca destinos menos visitados y de escasa actividad para minimizar el tiempo muerto y maximizar tu conexión con lugares especiales. ■ Lleva botellas de agua reutilizables o vasos térmicos para reducir la generación de basura y mantenerte hidratado en nuestro clima seco.
02
■ Si necesita defecar, aléjese por lo menos 70 pasos de los senderos, del agua y de la gente. Excave una fosa de 6 pulgadas (15 cm) de profundidad, realice sus necesidades en el agujero, cúbralo con tierra y llévese el papel de baño usado. También puede utilizar una bolsa WAG especial (un tipo de bolsa desechable que se puede encontrar en la mayoría de tiendas de productos para acampar) donde se llevará su material de desecho.
05
SÉ CUIDADOSO CON EL FUEGO
■ La baja humedad de Colorado tiene beneficios, pero puede crear condiciones secas y peligrosas. Procura que las fogatas sean pequeñas y controlables para evitar incendios forestales. ■ Al apagar el fuego, riégalo hasta que puedas manejar las brasas. Nunca dejes que el fuego arda sin vigilancia. ■ Ten cuidado al fumar en el clima seco de Colorado. Siempre apaga los cigarros por completo y no dejes las colillas tiradas. ■ Siempre revisa las restricciones de fuego locales.
SIGUE LOS SENDEROS
■ Tenemos 39 000 senderos señalizados y 13 000 campamentos designados, por lo que no hay necesidad de aventurarse más allá. Al permanecer en estas áreas y acampar al menos a 200 pies (60 metros) de los lagos, ríos y arroyos, estás ayudando a los espacios naturales a conservarse naturales. ■ Aunque los atajos pueden ser tentadores, no los tomes. Unos cuantos pasos extra en el camino protegerán las plantas y los hogares de los verdaderos habitantes locales.
03
■ Para lavarte a ti, a tu perro o cualquier otra cosa que necesites limpiar, debes hacerlo al menos a 200 pies (60 metros) de los cauces de agua, y usar jabón biodegradable. El baño de espuma es perjudicial para los peces.
DEJA TODO COMO LO ENCUENTRES
■ Deja las plantas, las rocas y los elementos históricos como los encuentres para que otros experimenten la emoción del descubrimiento. ■ Cualquiera de nuestras 750 especies diferentes de flores silvestres vivirá para siempre en una foto. Dispara solo tu cámara y llévate los recuerdos que desees. ■ Colorado es hermoso por sí solo. No es correcta la construcción de estructuras ni campamentos en terrenos públicos. Debes mantenerlos intactos para que todos lo disfruten. ■ Trata a todos los seres vivos con respeto. Tallar o cortar plantas y árboles puede matarlos o desfigurarlos.

06
KEEP WILDLIFE WILD
(CONSERVEMOS LAS ZONAS SILVESTRES)
■ Colorado es el hogar de decenas de miles de criaturas peludas, escamosas y emplumadas. Para mantenerlas a salvo y mantenerte a salvo a ti también, no te les acerques. ■ No es lindo alimentar animales salvajes. Podrías alterar los comportamientos naturales, exponiéndolos a los depredadores o incluso a la eutanasia. ■ Mantén a tus amigos peludos con correa cuando disfrutes de los senderos aptos para perros y recoge sus desperdicios para depositarlos en un bote de basura.
07
COMPARTE NUESTROS SENDEROS Y PARQUES
■ Es probable que no estés en la naturaleza para ver gente, así que prueba los caminos y sitios menos conocidos. ■ Silencia tu teléfono celular antes de adentrarte en la naturaleza y habla en voz baja sin usar la función de altavoz. ■ Sé considerado cuando pases a otros por los senderos y cede el paso a los excursionistas y ciclistas que suben; ellos necesitan el impulso. ■ Escucha la naturaleza. Mantén tu voz baja y tu música también para que todos puedan disfrutar de la paz de Colorado.
