![]() The constant ask for “what can I help with,” never seemed to run out either. The food line was always full of the next hungry man, woman, or child. There was no shortage of food, napkins, smiling faces, or rubber gloves. It opened my eyes to the true meaning of community.īy giving back and serving gallons and gallons of gravy and mashed potatoes, I learned what an amazing sense of community is here, right in our own backyard. It is both the act of giving and the act of thanks, a true gift of warm food to your “community” and your “people.” I had the exceptional opportunity to volunteer last Thanksgiving at our community dinner here in Steamboat. It’s the warmest of all the holidays and, the most filling both in your belly and your heart. Community is more than being just part of the population but adding the spice of life and friendship, the giving and the caring. The word neighborhood gives the meaning of the word depth and warmth. The results were as I thought, a group of people, the public, the population, and last, but not least, the neighborhood. Sarah Coleman, CrossFit, and Personal Trainer, Fusion Fit Steamboat I recently looked up the synonyms of the word community. It is not hard to be thankful since we are blessed with a great family & friends to enjoy life with, living in Steamboat is our dream come true and there are always plenty of great memories to give thanks for. Time with friends who are like family is the highlight of the holiday for us. We share some food and wine, and the kids play and make plans for another great year. Then we get up and head for the mountain to make some turns together, stop by Slopeside, fit in another sport if possible then head back to prepare dinner. We like to sleep in a little (in years they open the top of the mountain I will get up early since those can be some of the best powder days of the year). ![]() ![]() We spend the day enjoying Steamboat as a family and then celebrate with friends.
