Dewey’s Bar & Grill
41611 Marble Ave., Stoneham
970-735-2747
Owing to its location in the middle of nowhere, the dusty town of Stoneham looks to be a little down on its luck. But it’s our good fortune that Margie and Jerry Samber have tucked Dewey’s into an old-style saloon building. Open Wednesday-Saturday for dinner, it entices folks from all over northeast Colorado to sample Margie’s pan-fried chicken on Wednesdays. Make a reservation if you want a slab of prime rib or a steak on Friday or Saturday; it’s just good country manners.

Lampwork beads fused in Frasier by Nat Havens and knotted into jacket pulls, bookmarks, necklaces and bracelets by Heidi McNinch in Tabernash are the kind of high-country bling we can all afford. Find samples of the pair’s groovy goods at the Foothills Art Center in Golden, or Metalstone in Winter Park, or at the Victim Assistance Team of Grand County’s annual Girl’s Night Out at the Untamed Steakhouse in Winter Park on Oct. 5.
