Labor Day Weekend Events & More
In this week's newsletter: Updates from the Coloradotopia Archives Collection, upcoming Labor Day events in the mountains, DIA shuttle deals.
A 1940 photograph of the Berthoud Pass Continental Divide sign was added to the archives this week. Having a dated photo that includes lots of graffiti will help to date other photos from this time period. The collection already included several photographs from the early 1940s, but this is the only one with a confirmed date.
See the scanned version and more info here.

Rabbit Ears Pass Slides
These two slides had their fronts and backs photographed on the light table this week for their respective webpages. The slide on the left is from 1952. The slide on the right is undated, but the vehicle has been identified as a 1961 Mercury Comet.
See more in the Rabbit Ears Pass Continental Divide Sign Collection.
