Circus Foundry is a Denver-based contemporary circus that formed to share their art, help others in the process, and support local under-represented demographics in community gatherings. “Our main goal with your show was to be able to share the excitement of what the circus brings to people throughout the world,” Vallin said.

Evelyn Seevers drills new holes into a piece of metal for Team Blitz’s robot. With the goals of being more precise in their measurements and cuts, it is very important as to not drill in the wrong spots or have too wide of a diameter for the hole in order to ensure that the robot will run as smoothly as possible.

The front desk of the Ripple restaurant, formerly known as JJ Madwell’s, is a temporary feature. A more robust entryway is planned in what Ripple hopes will improve the customer experience and make Ripple a more inviting location for Conifer residents. However, due to issues with permits, Ripple will be focusing on the outside of the building for now. “We might not be able to touch the building this year,” Lole said. “So we are going to be putting most of the money into the patio.”

What’s Next for Ripple?

On February 4th, Conifer FCA met for a lesson with senior Payden Devaney and played a game hosted by sophomore, Abigail Leidel. Devaney spoke about how to not only continue your faith through athletics but to embrace it. Leidel came up with a game she called, “Who can grab the water bottle first.” The game was simple: place a water bottle in between two players while they are playing “Simon Says” and when Leidel said, “Water Bottle” whoever grabbed the water bottle first won. Winners of the game continued to go against each other until there was one player left. “Being the Activities Director has always been fun. I think after we talk about something more serious being able to then have fun shows especially new Christians that you can have fun and be a Christian which I think is a big misconception that most people have. They also build the community and keep people coming back,” Leidel said.

A ball hits a troll popup in the pinball game, “Medieval Madness.” The game was one of the 40 machines that were part of the Colorado State Pinball Championship held at Blizzard Mountain Pinball in Conifer. Every year, the championship rotates between locations and ensued despite the snow as state must be held on the same date across all states. “The player base, the talent pool, and the quality of tournaments here in North America are just much higher than outside of it,” IFPA State Representative for Colorado Snow Galvin said.
