Hi Friend,
I hope you’re doing well.
I’m reaching out to see if you would be interested in hosting a small interactive tabletop display that celebrates a unique part of Cuchara’s history while also supporting our local firefighters.
Cabin in the Pines Blog has created two traveling historical displays that rotate among businesses in Cuchara and La Veta. They have been warmly received by both residents and visitors and are designed to be simple, engaging, and easy to host.
Each display is:
- Hosted for approximately 30 to 45 days
- Compact and flexible, fitting easily on a counter, desk, or small table
- Completely turnkey. I personally deliver, set up, and remove the display
- Family-friendly, interactive, and visually engaging. Children especially enjoy being able to touch and rotate portions of the displays to explore them from different angles
- Rooted in local history, helping preserve and share meaningful stories connected to the Cuchara Valley
- Designed to support an important local cause, with donations benefiting the La Veta Fire Auxiliary.
In addition, Cabin in the Pines will promote your business on social media as the current host location and encourage people to stop in and experience the display.
Thank you for considering this small but meaningful opportunity to celebrate local history, create a memorable experience for visitors, and support the volunteers who help protect our community.
You can learn more about the displays and view images below.
Warmly,
Gene Roncone

DISPLAY 1: GEORGE MAYES 1925 MODEL TT BILLBOARD
Cabin in the Pines Blog has recreated a 1:32-scale replica of George Mayes’s iconic 1925 Ford Model TT “rolling billboard,” the vehicle that helped introduce the world to Cuchara Camps. The replica is featured in a secure, compact display with a rotating base, interpretive backboard, and a locked donation box. The display is 19 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 13 inches tall.
Every dollar collected goes directly to the La Veta Fire Auxiliary, whose volunteers work tirelessly to protect our community.
DISPLAY 2: TEDDYS PEAK
Rising above the timbered folds of the Cuchara Valley, Teddys Peak stands as one of southern Colorado’s most recognizable high-country landmarks. Cabin in the Pines Blog has created an interactive Teddys Peak exhibit that invites visitors to experience the mountain in a whole new way. The left side of the display features a chunk of the same type of granite found near the summit of Teddys Peak, in the middle is a 3D replica of the mountain mounted on a rotating turntable.
The display is small enough to fit in compact places and is 24 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 18 inches high.Kids and adults alike can spin the features to explore the peak’s rugged geological formation from every angle or feel the granite texture. Every dollar collected goes directly to the La Veta Fire Auxiliary, whose volunteers work tirelessly to protect our community.
