Chris Kopf was a second homeowner for 10 years before moving from Dallas to Crested Butte in 2009 with his wife Francene & 3 daughters. It is great to bring a bit of Crested Butte to Dallas – and each year the event features a speaker from Crested Butte who provides an update and overview. – This year attendees heard from Woody Sherwood – Executive Director of the Biery – Witt Performing Arts Center at Mt. Crested Butte. Woody provided an update and overview of the final stages of the capital campaign for Biery – Witt Performing Arts Center at Mt. Crested Butte. The capital campaign has been very successful thanks to the generous donations of many – including Donna & Paul Witt and Linda & Tom Biery. There is still a 3:1 matching campaign in place – every dollar makes a difference. This will be a fantastic facility, an economic driver in our community, and will have direct impact on property values. I hope you will join me and go to: http://mcbpac.org to donate today and help reach the goal so that final design and construction can begin! This is a great cause which will create lasting benefits to our community for years to come.
