The Moffat County Bulldogs have a HUGE football game Saturday, in the Final Four of the 2A CHSAA State Football Playoffs. They’re matching up against undefeated Delta.
Here are seniors Hudson Jones and Aron Agular.
The game starts at 1 p.m. and it is AWAY, in Delta. The Athletic Director at Delta told me he is expecting a LOT of Bulldog fans to be there. If you can’t make it, listen on 93.7 KRAI to Kody May make the call.

Yampa Valley Autism invited community members and coaches to a seminar Wednesday called, “Thinking Differently: Disabilities, Acceptance, and Behavior Modification Strategies.” Those attending learned about how to work with and react to those with autism, ADHD, and Downs Syndrome. Heidi Mendisco is the Executive Director of Yampa Valley Autism.
“It’s important because these are our kids and this is our community. And to work together to be inclusive, everybody wants to be included.”
Yampa Valley Autism serves Routt and Moffat counties.

The 29th Annual Festival of Trees is at the Tread of Pioneers Museum in Steamboat Springs. One tree proving to be popular is a Taylor Swift themed tree by the Steamboat Skating Club. Here’s Candice Bannister with the museum.
“The Taylor Swift tree is sure to be a hit, with the albums written on the Christmas balls, and a garland made out of bracelets with the song names. And I think with all of the hype around Taylor Swift, this tree will be a favorite. There’s even bright red lipstick.”
Twenty-six trees are on display throughout the museum. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 25 but closed on Thanksgiving Day. Pictures of all of the trees are on the Steamboat Radio Facebook page.
