The Genuine Steamboat Story Contest sponsored by Steamboat Group Realty challenged locals and visitors' alike to write a short story. "Why do you think Steamboat Springs is a Genuine Place to Live or Visit?" was the topic . Our community of web members voted on their favorite entries and we are pleased to announce that Dustin Eldridge is the winner of the contest. He will receive a check for $100.

Dustin is a CMC student and avid blogger, you can check out some of his work at Steamboat Livin', his wordpress blog and be sure to look for Dustin's work on the all new SteamboatMagazine.com. There will be a further write up on Dustin in our special winter edition of Steamboat Magazine coming this November.
