TRANSCRIPT
Fellow Chamber Members, Thank you all for the amazing response, answering the call for help with
Chamber tasks. Your commitment and time is greatly appreciated and
we are looking forward to the fruit of the labor soon. For those who
missed the last meeting it is not too late to join a team. With the warm weather we are experiencing this winter, it really feels
like Spring and Summer activities are just around the corner, and we are
seeing a nice amount of activity around town. I personally get very excit-
ed when I hear or see some remodeling going on in some closed business
locations. It is usually a sign to welcome a new business member to the
area. Please stop in at some of this locations and meet these wonderful
folks. Please remember to take advantage of our awesome tools on our web-
site, create your traffic catcher site and possibly even set up an online
store right through our portal. Post your events for free and advertise
for very small fees. Check it out and see instructions in this newsletter
on how to get started. In the next few weeks we have some exciting Chamber and community
events on the schedule, don’t miss out on a lot of fun at the first ever 285
Barrel Stave Downhill, the PCACC Chances Scholarship Silent Auction
including Shop Local cash drawing, and the add on mixer at Mountain
Peace Boutique.
Make it a lucrative month,
Marcel Flukiger

Chip Thomas opened the doors of the Cutthroat Café 9 years ago. Since then, he’s be-come a favorite among the locals, whether they come in to get a bite or for some coffee and conversation.
Menu fare at the Cutthroat is simple and delicious. The breakfast options are traditional and there is something for everyone. The burgers, soups and specials always taste homemade and are served with a smile. Because the
Cutthroat Café is right on the way to many mountain out-door activities and destinations in Park County, Chip says he is busiest between Memorial Day and Labor Day. He’s up by 3am and at the café by 4am during the summer to serve breakfast to the ear-ly birds.
While Chip gives credit to the travel-ers and outdoor rec-reation enthusiasts for staying busy, he says that it is the lo-cals that keep him in business. He prides himself on being a restaurant focused
on family and friends.
“The Cutthroat Café is more of a community center than a restau-rant,” said Chip.
As for the Bailey com-munity, Chip is happy with the direction he sees Bailey going.
“I am excited for new businesses to open up and I think we’re on the right path,” he said.
“I’m a proud member of the Chamber and I thank everyone for doing their part in promoting local busi-nesses and growing the commerce in the community,” said Chip.

285 BARREL STAVE DOWNHILL
The 285 Optimist Club, a non-profit with the mission to Bring Out the Best in Kids in the communities along the Hwy 285 Corridor, is hosting Colorado’s first ever – “285 Barrel Stave Downhill” (a non-ski, skiing event) on Sat-urday, February 23rd, 2013 at the Jefferson County Open Space – Meyer Ranch Park on US Hwy 285 in Conifer, Colorado. The event will allow “would be” and avid skiers alike to test their skills in an unconventional and fun skiing event. The legend goes that prior to modern day skis, European villagers would disassemble old wine barrels and use the “staves” (the wooden planks used to make the barrels) as skis, affix an open toe type of footing on each, and tie a short rope from one ski to the other for steering; creating the Barrel “Stave” Skis. Legend also tells of great times when the villages would hold Barrel Stave Downhill (BSD) contests and festivals to enjoy the winter days on the slopes with their friends and families. The Optimists are recreating this event in the foothills communities of Jefferson County, Colorado, in a place where the people of the US Highway 285 locales often meet for winter fun on the natural Open Space. The event will be open to the public with no required admission fee. Donations, entry fees and other suggested con-tributions from the event will benefit the Youth Programs of the 285 Optimist Club and the local schools.
