2008 People of the Year Award

Creede Magazine created its prestigious People of the Year Awards in 2005. The awards, given in two categories (People and Organization of the Year), were created as a way to feature people and organizations in our community who have contributed an extraordinary amount to the future success of the Creede and Mineral County area.

Nominations for People of the Year Awards 2007 will be accepted through November 30.
