Craig Middle School students are back in school today. The Moffat County School District canceled school Monday after authorities from the statewide reporting system, Safe 2 Tell, reported a possible threat to CMS, but it wasn’t specific to Craig Middle School. The message was being shared through the SnapChat app. Superintendent Jill Hafey says that upon further investigation, local law enforcement determined there was no threat to students in Craig. They believe the threats were targeting a school with the initials CMS out of North Carolina. Moffat County law enforcement will continue with extra presence on and around school campuses through the end of the school year.

The metal railing and fencing at the Routt County Fairgrounds in Hayden needs to be replaced. That’s according to Donnie Hayes, who is the Vice President of the Routt County Fair Board.
“But the production side of the fairgrounds, the rodeo arena and back pens, are falling down. The pipes are rusty and breaking and falling down. We’re perpetually having to replace panels and gates that don’t swing right.”
Hayes says you can’t weld together the fencing when it’s rusted. Also, the roping arena boxes aren’t tall enough. Two bulls were able to jump out of the box a few years ago, in the same night. The Routt County Fairgrounds go back to 1914. The fencing was put up in the early 80s. Hayes is hoping to get some grants to help with the $300,000 cost of replacing the fairground fencing. We’ll keep you posted as to when that’s set up, for those who want to help.

“It’s been a great ride. Steamboat is awesome. Best industry team, I think, in the industry, and the people in the community are what makes Steamboat so great. But I’m going to be on First Tracks every day, so I’ll see them.”
Schneider has been coordinating the Full Steam Ahead improvement projects at the mountain. His last day is at the end of the month. He will still consult over the summer.
