Unveiling Gallery 108
You’ll see two faces revealed in Dillon’s new gallery at 124 Main St.
One is the face of, and photographic images by Matt Lit, a multiple award-winning professional photographer.
The other is the face of his selected featured artist, debuting each month at the gallery’s First Friday evening receptions.
Lit has chosen his gallery exposure to introduce the talents of watercolorists, sculptors, multi-media and fine artists who work in oil.
Lit, whose stunning photographic images take your breath away, will display his results using the Holga Toy Camera.
With its plastic body, lens and viewfinder, the Holga produces images with the romantic look of photographs in times past.

OFF, OFF-BROADWAY
“One of the ten best theaters in the state”, harked the Denver Post. “This is the top western theater in the state,” noted the Colorado Theater Guild.
It’s waaay off-Broadway, but the Lake Dillon Theatre has made its mark in Colorado.
Gather theater-types, arrange a production, then stand back and be dazzled. Chris Alleman, Artistic Director, is amazed at the reception the theater performances have received.
Early this December, you’ll be treated to the hilarious series of mishaps in Lend Me A Tenor by Ken Ludwig. This was a sensation on Broadway and London’s West End.
From Mid-December through the new year, enjoy an exuberant holiday revue spiced with lots of surprises.
During the first half of January, “Oleanna” by David Marnet, will be presented by Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs.
A male instructor and his female student discuss grades, which becomes a modern reprise of the Inquisition.

THAT DAM ROAD!!!!
County Road 7, colloquially called the Dam Road from Dillon to Frisco, holds back 245,000 acre-feet of water in the Dillon Reservoir.
The water is managed by the Denver Water Board, providing much of that city’s water resource. If the dam was ever compromised, it would release all its water, flooding the town of Silverthorne.
On July 8, 2008, the suspicious activity of two men on the dam caused the closure of Rd. 7, setting off cries of protest by Summit County residents. The Dam Road is one of only three routes from one side of the county to the other, and favored by emergency vehicles.
The suspects were detained, explaining their reason for videotaping on the dam. They were in the process of making a music video.
After weeks of investigations by the Summit County sheriff and FBI, the suspects were cleared. However, the incident sent up a red flag.
On July 25, the Dam Road reopened to two-axle vehicles only, and closed to all traffic from 10pm to 6am. Large trucks and Rvs are prohibited, but emergency vehicles are granted 24-hour access, bypassing barriers with special remote controls.
