Chris is from nearby Estes Park, and he also wrote a book about weaving entitled “Chris Switzer's Third Edition (2005) of the fine book on spinning and weaving Llama, Alpaca, and Paco-Vicuña fiber.”



November 11 – 27, 2010:

Stephen J. Allen Photography Exhibit: Memories of My Ancestors. Studio artist Stephen J. Allen will be sharing his most memorable photographs of Scotland from his trip in 2009. Other than the typical images of Scotland of castles and men in kilts, Allen found the textures of the standing stones, fishing boats and other scenes most fascinating.
So come and support our artists and the cause at this First Friday Gallery Walk! See you there!

RESEARCH AND READ UP.Do your homework and find as much information as you can on financial management, real estate and buying a home. Take notes. Make a financial plan for yourself.

ESTABLISH / MAINTAIN GOOD CREDIT HABITS & HISTORY.Being responsible and having a good track record make approvals easier and faster.  Invest on getting a credit card using it responsibly. Apply for an automobile loan and pay on time every month. If you're renting, put your own name on the lease and the utility bills and make sure the rent and the bills are paid every month.

SAVE EARLY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT & CLOSING COSTS. Saving early is the most important and because you get the advantage of compounding interest and have a longer period of time to grow your investments. Start saving early and open a savings account or a stock brokerage investment account. Don't forget to make regular deposits.
