Close to forty HRC members and friends attended the Annual Meeting of Historic Routt County of September 24, 2009 at the City of Steamboat's historic Rehder Building, home of the new Steamboat Art Museum. Guests were treated to a fine lasagna dinner and beverages provided by Cellar Liquors. To complement the extra-special venue, Shirley Stocks and Susan Dorsey provided talks on future exhibits for the Steamboat Art Museum and an update on the Rehder Legacy. A special thanks to Betsy Chase of the Steamboat Art Museum for her assistance in setting up for the evening's festivities. Donna Hellyer and Jan Leslie were awarded the prestigious Historic Preservation Leadership Award for their tremendous contributions to historic preservation in Routt County, and Arianthe Stettner spoke from the heart about historic preservation friend Marty Alexandroff who passed away this past August. The evening wrapped up with a talk given by Executive Director Towny Anderson about the year's accomplishments and future projects for HRC.
