WELCOME

The 55th Carbondale Mountain Fair theme is:

CAMP BONEDALE

Welcome to Camp Bonedale, where everyone is welcome, hands are for helping, kindness reigns, freak flags fly high, and we dance together beneath the same bright sun!

Some might say, “It’s hard to believe we’re celebrating 55 years of Mountain Fair,” but anyone who has been part of the spirited and mighty volunteer crews that have planned, built, and run this fair year after year wouldn’t be surprised at all. Mountain Fair has an enduring magic and momentum, fueled by the love, generosity, and dedication of this community.

In our 55th year, we’re tipping our hats to Mountain Fair’s legendary “Camp Bonedale”—an unofficial but beloved gathering spot within the fairgrounds during the 1980s and 1990s, where friends and family reunited and spent time together throughout the fair.

Over the past five and a half decades, the Carbondale Mountain Fair has taken many forms, shaped by the unique cast of community members who have contributed something special year after year.

Some traditions have endured, like the Pie & Cake Contests, while others have faded and later returned, like Tug-O-Love.

Through it all, the fair’s strongest and most enduring tradition has been its multigenerational volunteer spirit—the force that has kept Mountain Fair joyful, vibrant, and free for all.

@carbondalearts We invite you dear fair-goer to bring your own special offering to #mountainfair the 55th Carbondale Mountain Fair in whatever way you are able! #sharethefair Jamie Abbott

MOUNTAIN FAIR SUSTAINABILITY You can help Mountain Fair accomplish our waste diversion goals by supporting these Green Team efforts:

> > >

BYO water bottles, plates, and utensils to the fair; take them home and wash them. It’s like camping! Reusable cups may be used for cocktails and wine (not beer, sorry) at the Cantina.

We do not sell bottled water at the fair and we have several WATER STATIONS full of clean, mountain water marked with red and white water signs. Please bring your own reusable container and keep it with you.

If you are finished with your program, please promote REUSE by leaving it at the Entrance/Exits for others to use.

COMPOSTING & RECYCLING You can be part of the solution by assisting the volunteer-powered Green Team with proper sorting at the waste stations.

> >

Just about anything you purchase from a food vendor goes in the green compost bins. All food scraps, utensils, plates, bowls, cups, and paper products are compostable.

ALL cups in The Cantina are COMPOSTABLE!

SOSTENIBILIDAD DE MOUNTAIN FAIR Puedes ayudar a Mountain Fair a alcanzar sus metas de reducción de residuos apoyando las iniciativas del Equipo Verde:

>

Trae tus propias botellas de agua, platos y utensilios a la feria; llévalos de regreso a casa y lávalos. ¡Es como ir de campamento! En La Cantina se pueden usar vasos reutilizables para cócteles y vino (pero no para cerveza, ¡lo sentimos!).

> >

No vendemos agua embotellada en la feria. Contamos con varias ESTACIONES DE AGUA con agua limpia de montaña, identificadas con letreros rojos y blancos. Por favor, trae tu propio recipiente reutilizable y llévalo contigo durante la feria.

Cuando termines de usar tu programa, fomenta la REUTILIZACIÓN dejándolo en las Entradas/Salidas para que otras personas puedan aprovecharlo.

COMPOSTAJE Y RECICLAJE:

Puedes ser parte de la solución ayudando al Equipo Verde, integrado por personas voluntarias, a separar correctamente los residuos en las estaciones de desechos.

>

>

Casi todo lo que compres a los vendedores de comida puede depositarse en los contenedores verdes de composta. Todos los restos de comida, utensilios, platos, tazones, vasos y productos de papel son compostables. ¡TODOS los vasos de La Cantina son COMPOSTABLES!

Local news is the gift we give one another.

It takes community support to keep independent, nonprofit journalism strong in Carbondale and throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.

Each year, The Sopris Sun must generate �850,000 through donations, sponsorships and advertising to publish The Sopris Sun, grow Sol del Valle, and mentor the next generation of local journalists through our Youth Newsroom and Sopris Stars insert.

Your support helps us tell the stories of this place — the people, culture, challenges, celebrations and community connections that make the valley home.

Help us continue this work. Donate. Advertise. Sponsor.

8:00 pm

Born from attic jam sessions between childhood friends Andrew Pickel and Kevin Hinnefeld, Dizgo’s story began with two guitars, a tape recorder, and a dream - literally. The band’s name came to Hinnefeld in a dream, before their first gig, reflecting the cosmic, boundary-breaking sound they’d soon deliver. Later joined by Jake Evatt on keys/vocals and Justin Clark on drums, the Bloomington-based quartet has since evolved into one of the country’s premiere touring acts.

Meet the Artist: Rowan Brown This year’s winning Mountain Fair design was created by Colorado visual artist and tattooer Rowan Brown.

Formally trained in traditional tattooing, she developed a strong foundation in design and composition. While her artistic education has been largely self-directed outside of tattooing, Rowan credits her apprenticeship with providing an unexpected depth of creative and technical knowledge.

Raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Rowan draws inspiration from the landscapes and culture of the Four Corners region. Her love of art began early, encouraged by her mother and shaped through a passion for drawing and painting. Alongside her tattoo work, Rowan continues to explore new creative avenues.

Marcus Thackston / Blend Web Marketing Marcus Thackston runs Blend Web Marketing, a Carbondale-based digital agency crafting beautiful, user-friendly websites, apps, and providing merchant services for businesses across Colorado’s Western Slope. When he’s not building things, Marcus is chasing the outdoors in every season—reading whitewater as a river trip leader, throwing flies at unsuspecting trout, snowboarding, snowmobiling, off-roading, mountain biking, escaping on hut trips, and coaxing things to grow in the garden. A Wilderness First Responder, he’s happily tangled up as a volunteer with West Elk Mountain Rescue, Carbondale Arts, Roaring Fork Leadership (board member and advisor), Mt. Sopris Rec Riders, and local farms including Wild Mountain Seeds & Seed Peace.

This year, we’re delighted that Marcus offered up his time and talents to make a beta version of a Mountain Fair app. It’s got the same spirit, with a different medium. Being a part of the volunteer crew that pours its heart into Fair, inspired Marcus to build a Progressive Web App to make the fair magic easier to navigate—upcoming shows and events, artist bios, booth locations and more — so everyone can focus on the good stuff.

For Marcus, loving Carbondale is a way of life.
