Entertainment Gems of the Valley: Slow Groovin BBQ
- Ruby Fuller
Sometimes you don’t feel like eating at the same place and you want to try something new, Slow Groovin’ BBQ is a great place to solve that problem. It couldn’t be located in a better spot, directly in the mountains with no busy highways in sight. It’s a friendly restaurant with amazing barbeque that will make you eat ‘til you drop. How to get there: 101 W 1st St, Marble, CO 81623 What to do: Enjoy the delicious barbeque as well as the surrounding views. There isn’t a better place to have your family and friends gather together to enjoy a meal. Word to the wise: There is no service or internet so make sure you don’t need to make any important calls or texts when you are there! If you don’t want to take a trip all the way up to Marble, you can always go to the Slow Groovin’ BBQ located in Snowmass. Reviews from our students: “Its one of my favorite places to go, and their cheesecake is really good.” - Henri Jones “A very good locally owned restaurant. The food is quality.” - Travis Ochko
10 Presents Not to Buy While Celebrating the Holidays
- Lucy Meade
Every year when the holidays roll around, one of the most challenging feats is purchasing worthwhile gifts that friends and family members will enjoy. Oftentimes, after the holidays are over, we look back and regret the pitiful gifts we have given our loved ones. Therefore, to help narrow down gift ideas, Roaring Fork High School students and staff have provided a few examples of what NOT to buy loved ones this holiday season: “I think one of the worst presents to buy your parent for the holidays is a hair dye kit,” -Isa Hernandez, Sophomore. Let’s be real. Letting someone know they have grey hair would not go down very well while sitting around the Christmas tree. “It would be terrible to get anyone a weight loss plan or diet pills as a gift.” -Lizzie Allender, Junior. Honestly, diet pills are more of an insult, and less of a gift. “A used gift card would be a pretty bad present.” -Rex Hamilton, Sophomore. I’m sure we are all aware any used gift is just the worst, and doesn’t quite qualify as a true gift, but used gift card? Get it together, people. “Probably one of the worst gifts to give a sibling would be deodorant and a toothbrush.” -Logan Erickson, Junior. It turns out that subtle hint wasn’t so subtle at all. “I think a shake weight would be pretty bad, because no one really wants a shake weight, it’s pretty pointless.”-Caroline Wisroth, Sophomore. Awkward workout equipment just isn’t worthy of being wrapped up and handed to a loved one.

“Embarrassing graphic T-shirts are never good.” -Ruby Fuller, Sophomore. We can all agree that those shirts will never see the light of day from deep inside the back corner of our drawers. “A copy of the history textbook for a student.” -Mr. Wells, Social Studies teacher. I think most kids receiving an AP World History book as a gift would be less than pleased to be reminded of the tedious school days they temporarily have a break from. “Fruit cake is pretty bad.” -Mrs. Keery, Art teacher. If you have ever eaten, or even seen, a fruitcake, you are aware that it’s NOT a good gift for anyone at all. “Women’s underwear. It’s just weird.” -Daniela Rivera, Sophomore. Being handed a pair of underwear while opening presents is just too awkward. Yikes! “A Lil Pump CD. Real G’z don’t listen to Lil Pump. Wu Tang Forever.” -Mr. Robinson, substitute teacher. Clearly buying someone a Lil Pump CD is gonna “Bring Da Ruckus” because the reality is C.R.E.A.M. Now, with these helpful pieces of information provided by RFHS students and staff, no one should have to experience the disappointment of receiving a lousy gift for the holidays.
