2023 was a year of communities in the foothills jumping in head first as they hosted festivals, fought against development, mitigated against wildfire and more.

The Canyon Courier brought stories of history such as the centennials of Indian Hills, Kittredge and the Center Stage theater — and the three not only celebrated their heritage but their importance to the community.

It was the year that voters in the Elk Creek Fire Protection District stopped Elk Creek from consolidating with the Inter-Canyon and North Fork fire departments. It was also the year that Evergreen Park & Recreation District voters approved extending a property tax to be used primarily for overdue maintenance.

Residents worked to stop a proposed development on Hilltop Drive in Evergreen and a bike park on Shadow Mountain Drive. It appears the Hilltop Drive development is not moving forward, but the Shadow Mountain Bike Park proposal is still going through the Jeffco Planning & Zoning process and should reach the Planning Commission for review

Evergreen Fire/Rescue officials look at master plan draft Consultant suggests a combined department in future years, but the fire board wants more information before moving in that direction

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A consultant is recommending that Evergreen Fire/Rescue eventually move toward firefighters who are a combination of paid staff and volunteers.

It also recommends that the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department,

which is the organization the volunteer firefighters belong to, eventually becomes primarily a fundraising arm for the department.

The recommendations are part of the first draft of consultant Matrix Consulting’s master plan for the department. The fire board hired Matrix to do a deep dive into the organization, looking at strengths and weaknesses, and to recommend changes that would help the department be more effective going forward in the next 10 years.

After hearing initial recommendations at a work session on Dec. 14, board members asked Matrix for more information on costs involved with the recommendations and a timeline for making changes to be considered. Board members hope to SEE MASTER PLAN, P8

Some Thoughts About the Future of the MLS in Light of Commission Lawsuits

Sellers, buyers and real estate professionals are all contemplating the future of real estate following the blockbuster verdict (and pending litigation) against the National Association of Realtors and several highprofile real estate franchises, such as RE/MAX. The multi-billion-dollar verdict was in favor of home sellers who questioned why they should be required to compensate agents who represent the buyers of their properties. Shouldn’t buyers pay for their own representation?

The verdict seemed to ignore one crucial fact — that the buyers’ agents are not compensated by the seller but by the seller’s agent who agreed to share his commission with any MLS member who procured and represented the buyer.

It’s such a crucial aspect of selling real estate. What seller in his right mind would list his or her home with “little old me” if I couldn’t enlist the services of 25,000 other brokers by listing each home on a common database and offering to split my listing commission with them if they brought the buyer?

I’ve written about this before. It’s called “cooperation and compensation.”

Each member of the multiple listing service (MLS) agrees to cooperate with every other member, and includes in his MLS listing the amount of his commission that he’s willing to give another member who produces the buyer.

It’s a good deal for the buyer.

Why hire me as your agent if I don’t have the opportunity to get paid for the listing you fall in love with?

The litigants in the NAR lawsuit would like to see buyers sign an agreement to pay me a certain dollar amount if I get them to the closing table on a home they want to buy. Currently, brokers who bring a buyer can expect between 2 and 3 percent of the sale price as compensation. That comes from sharing a 4- to 6percent listing commission earned by the other agent for taking their home to market.

It’s much easier to choose the best listing agent based on the services he or she will perform in getting one’s home seen in the best possible light by the greatest number of potential buyers, than it is to choose the best buyer’s agent who is going to do little more than initiate an MLS alert for active listings

which match the buyer’s search criteria, then providing physical access to the listings which that buyer wants to see.

The graphic at the bottom of this page describes the multitude of services offered to sellers by Golden Real Estate.

Although we provide equally important services to buyers, they are more intangible, such as negotiating for the best price, helping win bidding wars on competitive listings, negotiating inspection resolution, etc. It’s easy to show how well we marketed and sold listings; we can’t show how well we served buyers.

The verdict won against NAR and the big brokerage companies may be a “blockbuster,” but it’s hard to envision much changing from how our Denver MLS does business, or how the Colorado Real Estate Commission might modify the seller and buyer listing agreements we’re required to use in our transactions.

Let’s start with the state-mandated listing agreement for sellers. For as long as I’ve been a Realtor, it has contained a fields for entering the amount of commission charged by the listing agent and the amount of that commission the agent will offer to brokers who bring the buyer. There’s no pre-filled percentage or dollar amount, and we’re instructed by licensing law and Realtor ethics that there is no standard or customary number to enter in each of those fields.

Meanwhile, the MLS has always allowed the listing agent to enter any per-

centage or dollar amount (even $1) as the amount of compensation he or she will offer to other MLS members. So no change is needed there. (Recently, however, the MLS has allowed us to enter $0 instead of $1 in that field.)

Meanwhile, on the state-mandated buyer agency agreement, there have always been (as far back as I remember in my two decades of service) fields for entering the amount that the buyer will pay his agent (if anything), and whether he will seek compensation from the seller’s agent, and, failing that, whether or not the buyer will make up the difference of a specific amount of compensation to his or her agent. So, no changes are needed to that form.

There may be some disruption in other markets, but not here. Even if sellers are told they don’t have to pay buyers’ agents for their work, I picture every seller wanting to pay their listing agent enough commission to allow the offer of compensation, because failing to do so runs the risk of getting fewer showings and offers.

It’s ‘Bucket-List Time’ for Rita and Me

Jim Smith on Title Insurance:

Like any seasoned listing agent, I have my preferred title companies based on years of experience working with them. I have found the escrow officers of some firms more attentive and better at handling issues that may arise, so I definitely recommend one for my seller to use.

I admit that I should remind them it’s their decision and point them to Garry’s website, but a choice based on it would be based solely on price. Then we could talk.

Where I think agents go wrong is when they have an in-house title company and they get spiffed for “capturing” a seller for that title company and probably don’t suggest their client shop other companies.

Perhaps you, like me, have yearned to travel the world — the whole world. I remember seeing “Around the World in 80 Days” when it came out, and it made me want to go for it.

A holiday tribute to veterans Evergreen cemeteries remember vets with wreaths

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen’s two cemeteries were quiet on Sunday afternoon, a somber tribute to veterans after the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony.

The green wreaths with red bows – about 200 at Evergreen Memorial Park and 80 at Bear Creek Cemetery – were colorful reminders of the foothills’ gratitude for the veterans’ military service. The Evergreen Elks Lodge and American Legion Post 2001 each year participate in the ef-

A wreath has been placed at the Huffman gravestone in Bear Creek Cemetery.

fort to lay wreaths at the graves of veterans across the nation.

More than 3,700 sites participated in the program that has goals to remember the fallen, to honor those who have and are serving in the mili-

tary, and to teach young people the value of freedom.

The ceremony includes placing additional wreaths to represent the different branches of the military and one wreath to represent the

93,000 soldiers who are still missing in action or prisoners of war.

This year, the wreaths at Evergreen Memorial Park have been attached to a fence along North Turkey Creek Road, making them more visible as people drive by. At Bear Creek Cemetery, some of the wreaths are on stakes, while others have been placed next to veterans’ graves.

Wreaths Across America uses a quote from President Ronald Reagan to explain why it was important to teach children about serving in the military: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. … It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

sometime in 2024.

Here are some of the stories the Courier brought you in 2023 — a year in photos.

Winter fun

Who says the foothills don’t have fun in the winter? From Icefest on New Year’s Eve to the Evergreen Lake Plunge on New Year’s Day, the year always starts with frozen fun.

In 2023, the Evergreen chamber sponsored the inaugural Mushies

Cup on Evergreen Lake while Indian Hills offered its inaugural Winterfest with live music, snowshoe races, kids games and a plunge into frigid water in a temporary pool.

High school sports

2023 was the year the Evergreen High School girls swim and dive team continued to show its dominance, winning state for the fifth year in a row. The powerhouse team is working to continue its streak in 2024.

In addition, Evergreen won its firstever state golf championship.

“We had a good group of guys,” Evergreen coach Brad Garrett said. “I’m glad to be a part of this state cham-

pionship team. It’s a result of all their work and passion for the game. They played great this year.”

It was also the year that Jameson Mott hit 1,000 points on the Evergreen Cougars basketball team. This year as a college freshman, she is playing for Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.

Wildfire and mitigation

Preparing in case of a wildfire is always on the minds of residents in the foothills, and the Hogback Fire at the end of March was a stark reminder that wildfire can happen at any time.

The Hogback Fire that burned 44 acres just south of Interstate 70 and

west of C-470 was caused by a power line downed by exceptionally strong winds on March 31. Pre-evacuation orders for Morrison, Solterra and Red Rocks Ranch were lifted later that night thanks to the quick work of area fire departments.

Fire departments continue to advocate for residents to mitigate their properties. Evergreen Fire/Rescue hosts its community health and safety day and seminars, while InterCanyon and Elk Creek fire departments have booths at the Elevation Celebration.

as many events as it can to educate the public.

Festivals and more festivals

Even though the foothills host festivals nearly every weekend from Memorial Day until mid-October, there’s always room for more.

Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice hosted Oktoberfest at the end of September with overwhelming attendance. One of the highlights were the dachshund races with the tiny critters running along the track to the delight of observers.

Among the summer festivals that bring the community together are the Evergreen Rodeo Parade and Rodeo on Father’s Day Weekend, Blue Spruce Kiwanis’ cornhole tournament, the Elevation Celebration in Conifer and Coniferfest music festival. Don’t forget the Evergreen Summer Concert Series with half at the Evergreen Lake House and the other half at Buchanan Park.

Arts community

There’s nothing like arts and arts festivals here, with Summerfest, the Fine Arts

Festival and Open Door Studios among the events that bring locals and folks from down the hill to our communities.

This year, Center for the Arts Evergreen began construction on an addition to its art gallery in Bergen Park.

Friends, donors and gallery staff gathered in May to grab shovels full of soil and to celebrate this milestone that will put a 5,000-square-foot addition onto the back of the building. The addition should be open this spring.

The year of milestones

1923 must have been a busy year in the foothills since 2023 was the year that Indian Hills, Kittredge, the Center Stage theater in Evergreen and the Little White Schoolhouse in Conifer celebrated their centennials.

In addition, Elk Creek Fire and Evergreen Fire celebrated their 75th anni-

versaries.

Happy ending

Clover the golden retriever, who is about 2 years old, got away from her new adoptive owners in March and spent 40 days roaming through Kittredge, Evergreen and Genesee until humans with a tremendous amount of patience and tenacity were able to corral her and bring her home.

During her ordeal, Clover only lost about 12 pounds, and Bailee Wilson, the kennel manager for 4 Paws 4 Life Rescue and Boarding in Sedalia, said that was likely because many people in the area left food out for Clover in case she came by.

Clover eventually was found on Hiwan Drive, and Wilson said she planned to keep Clover rather than find her another home.

meet with Matrix in mid-January to receive more information.

“What (Matrix Consulting is) suggesting is a paradigm shift because it impacts the culture, structure and finances,” board member Julie Ann Courim said. “Is there going to be a big impact for the 2025 budget?

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don’t want to rush this because it has too much impact.”

Doug Matheny, a volunteer captain with the department, suggested that the fire board issue a statement to the department to help quell rumors about the department’s future.

“In my time here, rumors have come up about moving toward a combination department four or five times,” Matheny said. “In my time here, (they) destroyed morale. I’m not saying the plan is right or wrong

December 28, 2023De … but we need to stop the rumors.”

In response to Matheny’s concerns, the fire board in a statement released on Dec. 19 said it would use Matrix’s report as “a guiding document as part of a process to determine the direction of the department and how to lead the organization effectively and sustainably into the future.”

The board encouraged volunteers and paid staff to acknowledge the department’s weaknesses and look for solutions, and to work together as the board makes decisions.

The fire board has the responsibility to set the department’s direction and decide which of Matrix’s recommendations to move forward with, which is expected to happen in early 2024. After that, Fire Chief Mike Weege plans to form a master plan committee to begin the work of planning and implementing the master plan initiatives that the fire board approves. He wants the committee to include two division chiefs,

a district board member and a volunteer chief.

“I’m excited to hear what the staff has to say on this,” board member Evan Jeffries said.

Moving to more paid firefighters

The consultant, Robert Finn of Matrix Consulting, said on Dec. 14 that surveys of both volunteers and district employees found they thought the department needed to lessen its reliance on volunteers and move to paid, full-time firefighters, which are also known as professional or career firefighters.

The fire board asked for more specifics and costs associated with the recommendations before they discuss whether this move would be feasible, and if it is, when the department could find the money to implement it.

“It’s one thing to say go to a hybrid staffing pattern, but I don’t see the estimated additional personnel that would be needed, the potential

costs or the forecasting of staffing changes,” Courim said. “This is high level. I would like to bring it from the 40,000-foot level to the 10,000- or 20,000-foot level. This is missing the analysis piece.”

Currently, Evergreen Fire/Rescue has a full-time paid paramedic staff, who work set hours. On the firefighting side, firefighters in general are volunteers.

Evergreen along with other volunteer fire departments in the country are having a tougher time finding volunteer firefighters. A concern with having fewer volunteers is that it takes longer to get to a fire station to pick up engines and other equipment before heading to an emergency call, therefore making response times longer. Paid staff already would be at the fire stations, so they are ready immediately to leave for calls.

recommendations on staffing patterns, equipment needed and other issues as part of the next draft of the plan.

“We need to make sure our folks understand we are going to go through a process to see where to go next,” Kris Kazian, Evergreen Fire/Rescue’s new division chief for fire operations, told the board.

“How are we going to run the organization sustainably and effectively to meet our future needs?”

Courim added that all of the master plan discussions should be held in public so everyone in the fire department knows nothing is being hidden from them.

“I understand it creates some heartburn, but that’s why we have to and should do it this way,” Courim said. “The information we have so far doesn’t allow us to understand the big picture.

Other recommendations

According to the draft report, the department should consider: • changing the role of the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department would clean up the command structure for the department to bring the entire department under one command structure; • continuing to enhance wildland mitigation and response capabilities; • continuing its community paramedicine program to determine whether additional resources are needed; • continuing to provide community risk reduction educational programs; • developing a financial plan to address capital-improvement needs; and • consolidating stations 1 and 4 into one new facility.

Starting Fresh….

The new year offers the opportunity for new beginnings, and while I am not a fan of making resolutions, there is value to a clean slate, a fresh start. This year we have seen the completion of a new path on one side of the Evergreen Lake, many businesses have sold to new owners offering new possibilities, and new neighbors who moved here this year. The fresh start allows each of us to refocus our efforts to be an inclusive, supportive community and to remember the adage of typing an email (or a social media post) when we are upset, but then waiting 24 hours to send or post it. The extra time often sheds a new light and we find ourselves hitting the delete button. Let’s make 2024 a year of lifting rather than tearing down others!

VOICES Thanks for 15 years of memories: Brobst retires from the Courier, Courant

O

ne day in 1980, I was walking through Hibbard Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire campus with Les Polk, a journalism professor and my mentor.

“Miss Hurley,” he said, leaning on his cane and tilting his head as he stared at me, “I wonder if you have what it takes to be a journalist.”

I don’t remember if I answered him, but I know I stood up a little straighter, vowing that journalism would be my profession. I would show Mr. Polk that I had what it took. Here it is 43 years later, and it’s time for me to retire, leaving the profession I have loved throughout my entire career.

I have slept, eaten and breathed journalism at the Antigo Daily Journal, Brookfield News and Milwaukee Journal (now the Journal-Sentinel), all in Wisconsin, then a 21-year stint as a journalism professor and department chair at MSU Denver. As I retired from Metro, I joined the Canyon Courier and Clear Creek Courant staff with then-editor Doug Bell, who had been one of my adjunct professors.

Little did I know that I would stay with the papers for 15 years as an editor and reporter.

I have met some of the most amazing people, attended some of the greatest events ever, sat through hours and hours of meetings conducted by public officials and held those public officials accountable.

I also have helped train a host of reporters who came through our doors at Evergreen Newspapers.

Don’t let anyone tell you nothing happens here. It does — all the time.

There are people, places, history,

events (so many events), government entities, nonprofits and more that help make the foothills what we are.

There is never a shortage of stories, and I feel bad that there are still stories I’d like to tell, but I Deb Hurley Brobst won’t have the opportunity.

Now it’s time to find my next adventure, and frankly, I have no idea what that will be. But I know it is waiting.

In the meantime, there are a few projects I want to get done around the house, and I will still be teaching Jazzercise classes at Conifer Jazzercise. Fun fact: I’ve been an instructor for 31 years.

But then, who knows?

Here’s what I do know. I have spent every waking moment (and quite a few sleepless nights) trying my best to do the best for you. While my paycheck comes from Colorado Community Media, I work for you.

I have attended countless meetings of fire districts, the Evergreen rec district, the Morrison town board, Clear Creek schools, Jeffco Planning Commission and more on your behalf because you deserve to know about the decisions they make because they affect our daily lives. I say “our” because my husband and I have lived in Evergreen 34 years, and we don’t plan to leave any time soon.

portant. What is important is what you think, what information is important to you, what we can do collectively to improve our communities, and how I can provide you with information on all sides of issues that is fair and balanced.

As it says in the movie “Star Trek II,” “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or of the one.”

You are the many; I am the one. It’s as simple as that.

I have tried to balance the good, the bad and the interesting. I have been a cheerleader, showing you the best of our communities, and the person who has taken level-headed looks at issues that have raised the ire of some

By the same token, you have fulfilled my sense of purpose, made me laugh and cry, filled me with a sense of wonder, satiated my need to know things, and sometimes, you have made me shake my head.

Please reach out if you’d like to stay in touch. My personal email address is deb.hurley.brobst@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing you in 2024 in my new — retired — capacity.

I hope in my 43 years in this profession, I proved to Mr. Polk that I did have what it took to be a journalist. I’d like to think I’ve been pretty good at it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you, Deb Hurley Brobst

In my long PR career, I’ve seen news reporting go from Walter Cronkite to highly biased cable commentary passing for news. The Internet age has led to news outlets trying to be first at the big risk of putting unvetted incorrect information on the Web. And with disinformation techniques of an Olympic gold medal caliber, the public often doesn’t really know what happened. I’m used to it on a

national and international level, but it’s not something I want to see in my community news. Thankfully, I find that trusting CCM to deliver the right stuff to Conifer and Evergreen residents is easy.

In particular, my enduring thanks goes to outgoing Canyon Courier reporter Deb Hurley Brobst for being a continuing and reliable source for readers. It’s been very heartening and refreshing, and she will be missed.

LIFE

Handlers in Idaho Springs, Brighton and beyond help the animals spread holiday joy

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

sense of magic in the air sparks joy when people young and old see reindeer.

But for the owners of the reindeer, it’s a balance between creating a magical experience for people and making sure the reindeer are comfortable.

Kayla McIntosh, who owns Riverdale Reindeer of Colorado with her husband David McIntosh, said it’s easy these days for people to get caught up in school and work, which doesn’t always feel magical.

“But the ability to see an animal

that most people believe doesn’t actually exist,” Kayla McIntosh said. “And to see the kids light up and the parents really enjoy it and even learn things, it really is just a beautiful opportunity.”

Reindeer have been domesticated for thousands of years and have been used for various purposes. They also tend to make the holidays a little brighter by participating in holiday events across the metro area.

However, it takes a lot of work to prepare reindeer for events to ensure it’s a safe environment for the public and so the reindeer remain happy and healthy.

For each reindeer owner, training may look different, but it all starts with learning about the fascinating animal.

What makes reindeer a unique animal

Santa Bill (as he preferred to be called) at Laughing Valley Ranch in Idaho Springs has learned a lot about reindeer over his many years of working with them.

Just as other entities train their reindeer differently, reindeer are not all alike, he said. They each have a unique personality and different characteristics than other animals in the deer species.

“We want to educate everybody

about reindeer and what magical animals they really are,” Santa Bill said.

When adults and children interact with the reindeer, Santa Bill includes an educational piece, which he calls a domestic livestock educational experience, that details reindeer adaptations for survival.

Reindeer can adapt to the changing seasons. They can change their coats and hooves and have amazing eyesight — they are the only animals that can see ultraviolet light, according to Santa Bill.

What helps reindeer stand out SEE REINDEER, P13

Canyon Courier 13

For events, the reindeer are set up in an enclosure which is decorated with garland, bows and lanterns around the holiday season.

It is important to the family to include an educational aspect where they can talk to the kids and other guests about what it is like to be in agriculture and to raise animals. The family loves to interact with the kids as well and typically provides treats, stickers and coloring sheets.

Although the reindeer don’t do long events, when they get tired, they will just lay down.

“We don’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do,” Kayla said. “They’re resting and relaxed and we want to encourage them to just enjoy their surroundings. They should feel like they are at home.”

are their antlers, Santa Bill added.

Reindeer are the only members of the deer family that both male and female grow a new set of antlers every year. They use their antlers to strip away snow and vegetation, to find food and to defend themselves.

Male reindeer, also known as a bull, can have antlers that grow up to four feet tall, and they can weigh 25 to 30 pounds each, Santa Bill said.

Owners have to be extra careful with reindeer during their rut season, because they’re scraping velvet off their antlers — which is part of the natural growth process and acts as protection, Santa Bill continued.

At the ranch, most of the reindeer training happens after the rut and mating season where they are walked around their pens, outside and practice going in and out of the trailer.

When training, even reindeer who have done events in the past need a little refresher to get back into the routine and certain training aids may not always work.

“Sometimes we have to try different things,” Santa Bill said. “Nothing is an exact science when it comes to training animals.”

These reindeer also learn how to pull Santa’s sleigh by using reigns to signal the reindeer to start moving and the assistance of reindeer wranglers using lead ropes to guide the reindeer.

Another unique characteristic of reindeer is, unlike horses and cattle, reindeer can only kick forward and have a slight retraction. This helps them gain traction and start to catch air, Santa Bill said.

When people tell Santa Bill they thought the reindeer would be bigger, he says if they were any bigger, they’d be too heavy to get off the ground.

“It’s a magical thing,” Santa Bill said.

Riverdale Reindeer Farm

Currently in flight school in preparation to one day pull Santa’s sleigh are Kayla and David McIntosh’s reindeer at Riverdale Reindeer of Colorado in Brighton.

The McIntoshes bring their reindeer to events simply because of their love of reindeer and the hope to share

Keeping reindeer happy and healthy

that joy and passion with others.

David McIntosh is a fifth-generation dairy farmer whose family has been caring for and raising animals in Colorado since the early 1900s. He has also always been interested in reindeer.

Together, David and Kayla McIntosh spent years studying the history and biology of reindeer, have talked with other reindeer owners and breeders and have visited a number of farms.

Kayla McIntosh said it may sound corny, but just being in the presence of the reindeer and seeing their majesty is truly wonderful.

The McIntosh family has been raising reindeer for about three years.

They have Lacuna, Chilli, Noelle, Cranberry, Juniper, Kristoff and Hickory, the first bull to be born on the Riverdale Reindeer farm.

When preparing reindeer for events, Kayla McIntosh said the most basic point in training is spending time with the reindeer.

“It’s not like dedicated training hours, so much as it is just spending a lot of time with them,” Kayla McIntosh said. “It’s a pretty consistent thing to get them to be comfortable with us.”

At their farm, they are very particular about giving the reindeer their autonomy and don’t expect the reindeer to be okay with people petting them.

Cranberry is one of the reindeer that regularly goes to events but isn’t keen on being touched and the Mc-

Intosh family doesn’t force it.

However, working with Hickory over the past year, he has become more comfortable around kids. In addition to shows and holiday events, Hickory has also gone to schools where he got used to standing still for photos.

“A lot of the training was just on the spot,” Kayla McIntosh said. “Watching his cues, seeing if he felt comfortable in the situation and walking him out of the situation if he felt uncomfortable and giving him time to resettle.”

To ensure the reindeer always feel comfortable and safe, the family’s goal is that the reindeer enjoy going to events just as much as people enjoy coming to see them.

The family takes their reindeer’s personalities into account when they decide who goes to an event. Kayla McIntosh said even on the day of an event, they look to see who is feeling comfortable and who is feeling agitated.

If they can’t put a certain two reindeer together, they won’t do it.

The McIntoshes also want to make sure they keep the people coming to watch the show safe in the instance a reindeer gets nervous or agitated — one swing of the head could cause someone to get poked or hit with an antler.

“We do our best to make sure that isn’t even an option,” Kayla McIntosh said. “So we encourage lots of photos and things but we don’t specifically train them to be petable animals.”

Holly and Eve are two reindeer who are not afraid to lay down and get comfortable.

At 7 Oaks Reindeer Farm in Franktown, Lisa Vaughn said she would never let her reindeer get to the point of feeling overworked.

“When they’re tired, they just fall asleep,” Vaughn said.

Vaughn has had Holly and Eve for about two and half years and said they are like big dogs as they like to greet her when she comes, love treats and even get the zoomies.

Vaughn works with trainer Karena Mee to get the reindeer used to people.

In addition to gently touching the reindeer, they would hold a happy hour once a week so the reindeer could get used to a crowd and music.

Holly and Eve have been busy throughout the holiday season. They took part in the tree lighting in Elizabeth, were at the Parker Hometown Holiday Parade and spent time at Lone Creek Farms.

The holiday season is also a lot of effort for the reindeer owners and handlers as well. They have to load the trailer, make sure there is enough food and supplies to last throughout the event and once they get to the event, they set up the pen to ensure it’s comfortable for the reindeer.

Hard work and early mornings aside, it’s all worth it when they have the opportunity to educate others on reindeer and see the excitement on the children’s faces. And it’s not just kids who get excited to see the reindeer.

“The adults are just as flabbergasted as the kids,” Mee said.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis.

More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year.

These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.
