Steamboat Springs City Council meets tonight. One agenda item includes the first reading on the relocation and temporary storage of the Marshall House. This is so the building wouldn’t be demolished. The Marshall House is at 134 12th Street. It was the first wood-framed structure built in Steamboat Springs, back in 1899. A public hearing is also scheduled to discuss the Short-Term Rental Process.

Kimber Wheeler from Craig is again a USA Archery All-American in the Women’s Fixed Pins, for the third year in a row. And she has successfully defended her USA Outdoor National Championship in Archery.
She competes for the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky. Wheeler is a 2021 graduate of Moffat County High School.
“I’m super grateful for the opportunity to be able to go to school and shoot on a collegiate team. All of my accomplishments are owed to the people who supported me since I was little. I wouldn’t be shooting archery unless it was because of my parents. My dad shoots archery. It’s through 4H. That’s how I got my start.”
She won the National Championships back in May, and is home in Craig for the summer. She’ll head back to school at the end of August, for her senior year.
“It’s kind of crazy to think that I was able to find an opportunity to be a collegiate athlete, even coming from Craig. All the kids that think that Craig is just a tiny town and we can’t really accomplish anything but you can really find anything that you’re good at and there’s opportunities all around us.
