In May 2019, Summit County artist and former teacher Becca Spiro founded a mobile art studio named The Frosted Flamingo. Becca’s mobile art studio became ingrained in Silverthorne’s First Friday events and from there, Becca was “thrilled at the prospect” to apply for studio space at the Art Spot. Now, Becca offers an inclusive space for all ages to enjoy her craft kits and boxes.

As we head into summer camping season, be sure to travel and recreate responsibly, especially when it comes to fire prevention. Follow the tips below to help prevent wildfires and protect Colorado's natural resources as you enjoy a summer outside.
- Keep campfires small and manageable.
- Never let a fire burn unattended.
- Do not build a fire at a site in hazardous, windy or dry conditions. Check to see if campfires are permitted.
- Fire restrictions and bans are set by local jurisdictions and by individual forest agencies. Check with the local sheriff's office, fire department or the federal forest agency before lighting a campfire this summer.
- When putting out a fire, water it until you can handle the embers.
