Fairplay Colorado Southpark City Correction

Unfortunately, when we recorded our first episode about Fairplay, CO and Southpark City, we were not very clear on the details. However, after visiting Southpark City in Fairplay today (May 28, 2022), we know understand it better. This episode is simply to clear up some details. We appreciate your understanding, and apologize for any confusion we may have caused.

Fairplay, Colorado South Park City

[Edit - correction of information] My great grandfather (Shirley's father) did the rebuild of South Park City in the late 1950s.  (https://www.colorado.com/articles/real-south-park-colorado). In our first episode, my grandma, Shirley, talks a little about her father building South Park. After all these years, this weekend she will get to go there for the first time since he built it, as she was out of the country because her (then) husband was stationed in Germany. Please listen to our correction video where I give a little more detail on what we didn't know when we recorded this episode. There was some confusion, and we apologize for any confusion we may have caused.
