Steamboat Neighbors - Best Version Media

10/24/2025

In the October issue, we kicked off our new Steamboat Art Scene section with a spotlight on Gregory Effinger of Creative Bearings, and Effinger Fine Art, who has sponsored the section.

In this November's issue we featured an interview between Greg and Susan Gill Jackson, on the art of Plein Air Painting.

This is the wonderful video version of the interview that led to the article in Steamboat Neighbors. Thank you to Greg for his vision for this new engagement through our publication, and the mulit media reach it can have. I find this simply wonderful.

There is a lot more to come. You can find this content anytime, like I just did by hitting the microphone on my google search bar and saying Gregory Effinger Interviews.

Join Gregory Effinger and Steamboat Springs Artist friends with these question and answer sessions on location and in the studio, for Steamboat Neighbors Magazine.

In our October issue, we meet Danielle Zimmerer, Tom Fitzgerald, and their dog, Yodie, in our Resident Feature. Danielle is a talented photographer giving back through her “Gift of Photography.” Their story is one of ambition, community, and a little canine charm.

We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new themed section: The Steamboat Art Scene, sponsored by Effinger Fine Art. Gregory Effinger has long influenced both local and national branding and graphic design through Creative Bearings. Now he’s shining a light on the Steamboat Springs art scene—and bringing those stories straight to you. We kick the issue off with a Sponsor Spotlight on Greg himself—get to know the creative mind behind Creative Bearings and Effinger Fine Art. Greg has returned to his artistic roots and found the joy of watercolor.

Then, Boren to Paint shares their expansion into Texas. While Coleman and his growing family are moving toward a two-home lifestyle, rest easy, Boren to Paint, the iconic truck, and Steamboat roots remain strong.

October’s Nonprofit Spotlight shines on Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. CEO Ryan Banks and his team are making a significant impact in our landscapes and through education and engagement across the region. Writer Eugene Buchanan captured their story beautifully, having received multiple nominations from our community.

After a tasty Fall-Themed Dog Treat recipe, we’ve got sports: first, the groundbreaking new Girls’ Flag Football program at Steamboat Springs High School with Connor Payne and her squad; then, Lisa Renee Tumminello brings us this season’s scoop on the Sailors Cross-Country Team.

As always, we’d love to hear from you—whether you’ve got a neighbor to nominate, a story to suggest, or want to share an idea over coffee. And if you’re interested in supporting Steamboat Neighbors through a sponsorship, let’s discuss.

Here’s to an outstanding October, Steamboat. May your coffee be hot, your trails colorful, and your snow tires ready.

Warmly,

Spencer Tamblyn

One family preparing for the coming season is September’s Featured Family:

The Lodicos, consisting of Tony, Claire, Albee, and Kirra. Their story is just plain fun. With a passion for adventure and a zest for travel, we are fortunate that the charms of this town have brought them back from everywhere they have been to plant roots as our Steamboat Neighbors.

Kicking off the issue, we’ll check in with Casey’s Pond in this month’s Nonprofit Profile, written by Erin Campbell, highlighting the renewed programming and compassionate care offered within this cherished local facility.

Following The Lodico’s Feature, Realtor Will Kennish returns to follow his profile in the last issue, with his first Expert Contribution, diving into key market indicators and shifting negotiation dynamics.

Next, we spotlight the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, at the heart of Steamboat’s expansive nonprofit scene. Their work supporting, connecting, educating, and empowering local causes is nothing short of extraordinary.

Then, Holly Dickhausen, owner of Rakta Hot Studio, shares her expert insights on the transformative power of a consistent yoga practice and the importance of turning inward.

In sports, learn about the 50-Day Challenge: A fundraising walk/hike/ride event benefiting Prescription for the Arts and Northwest Colorado Health’s Youth Resiliency Program.
