Judith Kinzie reported the Salt Works Ranch tour attracted 22 people last Saturday; raising $230.00 of which $l20.00 want to “Tag” Fanning and $110.00 went to the HSI treasury. Currently HSI has $5318.78 in the bank.
Those who toured the Salt Works Ranch reported a very successful day at the ranch. Many thanks were expressed to Jackie Powell and Gary Higgins for their help and a slide presentation before the tour.
Linda Balough, the head of the Park Co. Historical Preservation Society presented Jackie and Gary with an award on behalf of the Park County Commissioners and Park County Historic Preservation Advisory Commission for their help in establishing the Salt Works as a Historic Property. Today the Mt. Mail had a good article and picture of Jackie and Gary.
Historic Salida’s scholarship fund to CMC remains untouched this semester. Jackie will contact Bob Ogle about how to manage more student contact and report at the next meeting.
Suggestions for our Nov. newsletter were articles about the Salt Works Ranch tour, the downtown improvement going on and our scholarship fund.

Earle will post a gallery of photos from Salt Works tour on the web site and see about the “pest house” requests.
Alan Robinson will give a tour of Leadville Stage road planned for development into a hiker and biker trail Sept. 27 or 28.
