The second author in the Lincoln County Public Library Beyond the Book series finished up her weeklong tour of Lincoln County at the new West Lincoln library on Saturday. Karma Wilson grew up in North Idaho and now lives in Montana. Because she grew up in a rural area, television channels were at a premium, so Wilson spent a lot of time reading.
âWe had one black and white television with a very tiny screen,â she said. âWe got three channels, and only one of them really good. I watched âLittle House on the Prairie,â âGilliganâs Island,â and Saturday cartoons and that was about it.â
The downtown area of Lincolnton is truly a gem. Even in the era of COVID, to take the time to walk around and even just look in the windows that are all decorated for the holidays can bring great joy and itâs free. In a combined effort between the City of Lincolnton, the Downtown Development Association of Lincolnton and the Lincoln County Public Library, window shopping has become even more interesting â especially to children.
Another of the Lincoln County Public Libraryâs wonderful âStoryWalksâ has been installed in downtown Lincolnton.
âIt was the libraryâs idea and we co-sponsored with the City of Lincolnton,â Betty Flohr, the DDAâs executive director said. âWe felt like it was an event that families could get out and do safely with their kids. It gets them to be out and see our downtown merchants. A lot of times people drive through, but they donât walk through.â

Top 3 Neighborhoods to Stay in Steamboat Springs
Steamboat Springs is a much more local affair than some of the trendier places to stay in Colorado. The skiing and snowboarding are good here though – crazy good. Dubbed “champagne powder,” the snow here is dry and light and allows for smooth, soft runs.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Murals depicting Routt County’s six commitments to containment of the COIVD-19 pandemic were vandalized with the words “slave” and “mask slavery” spray painted on some of the art panels, while other parts were ripped down.
Kim Keith, executive director of Steamboat Creates, which helped commission local artist Jill Bergman to create the mural posters, said this is the third time they have been vandalized.
