Roaring Fork Fire opens survey on potential ballot measure The Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority, through the Basalt & Rural Fire Protection District, seeks participation in a survey at www.roaringforkfire.org regarding a potential ballot measure.
It’s monsoon season in the Roaring Fork Valley, but don’t let that put a damper on your plans to explore.
On today’s episode of The Drop-In, we’re highlighting a rainy day-appropriate activity by heading inside the Aspen Historical Society’s Wheeler/Stallard Museum to take a look at what makes Aspen, well, Aspen, decade by decade. (Special thanks to Aspen Historical Society Vice President Nina Gabianelli for giving us a tour and sharing her wealth of knowledge!)
And if history with a side of ice cream is more your speed, on Aug. 7, 2021 from 2-4 p.m., visit the museum for the Aspen Historical Society’s annual ice cream social featuring a performance of “A Briefly Complete History of Aspen 2.0”

The Aspen Historical Society has updated its popular “A Briefly Complete History of Aspen” and will premiere the new play Friday.
The new version of this factual but funny and madcap run through local history now stretches from the days of the Utes up through the town’s mining and skiing eras to recent events like the 2018 Lake Christine Fire and the ongoing pandemic and real estate boom. It still runs under an hour.
