Exploring 285 with Kayla Maathuis

This week on Exploring 285 we visited The Chill Squirrel at their new location in downtown Bailey. They are an eclectic gift shop offering unique finds, homemade gifts and home décor. If you have not been to their new location, you are missing out! 

Their toy section is full of books, toys and games for all ages. One of our favorite finds is the real aspen leaves dipped in copper to create ornaments or jewelry. They also offer fun candles, rustic home décor, pillows, cigars, Turkish lamps, backpacks, men's toiletries and outdoor décor!

As an animal lover, one of my favorite videos for Exploring 285 is when we get to go play with the animals at the local humane society in Pine, CO. This week on Exploring 285 we visited our local humane society in Pine, Co @Intermountain Humane Society.

Currently they have some friendly and playful pups and a handful of kittens available for adoption. Help us find these babies their new furever home by sharing this video of them playing with your friends!
