Popovich said these are great Steamboat businesses that not everybody has heard about. The hope is that the Vendor Village will offer a chance for local entrepreneurs to showcase their products to people as they make their way to and from the Winter Carnival street events. “We’re doing it with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club and the (Routt County Economic Development Partnership),” Popovich said. “It’s their entrepreneur group where they have lots of local entrepreneurs that belong to this group, and they welcome any local entrepreneurs to be part of this group.”   [Read The Full Article](https://www.steamboatpilot.com/news/gear-up-vendor-village-joins-winter-carnival-lineup-to-boost-steamboat-entrepreneurs/) ## Recommended For You [![](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/Hala.jpg)](https://rcedp.org/news/yvorec_hala1) ### [New Leadership at Hala Gear: Continuing the Legacy in Steamboat](https://rcedp.org/news/yvorec_hala1) [![Picture of Steamboat Pilot & Today](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/P%26T%20Logo.jpg) Steamboat Pilot & Today August 1, 2024 at 9:00 AM](https://rcedp.org/news/author/steamboat-pilot-today) [![](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(2)-3.png)](https://rcedp.org/news/diy-solar-summit) ### [DIY Solar Summit aims to get people off-grid](https://rcedp.org/news/diy-solar-summit) [![Picture of Steamboat Pilot & Today](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/P%26T%20Logo.jpg) Steamboat Pilot & Today September 16, 2025 at 7:15 PM](https://rcedp.org/news/author/steamboat-pilot-today) [![](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/MD.png)](https://rcedp.org/news/yvag_md1) 1 Min Read ### [From Denver to Steamboat Springs: Grand Opening of Mythology Distillery](https://rcedp.org/news/yvag_md1) [![Picture of Steamboat Pilot & Today](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/P%26T%20Logo.jpg) Steamboat Pilot & Today June 13, 2024 at 7:00 PM](https://rcedp.org/news/author/steamboat-pilot-today) #### Stay Connected Get the latest local business resources and stay informed about long-term economic sustainability initiatives. --- ![logo-white](https://rcedp.org/hubfs/logo-white.png) Routt County, Colorado +1 (970) 717-0721 [info@rcedp.org](mailto:info@rcedp.org) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/RCEDP) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/routt-county-economic-development-partnership/) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/rc_edp/) [Follow us on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/user/31yb7rxgbioad423hr67hisepumu?si=1c120763ec024429) - [Events](https://lu.ma/rcedp) - [Entrepreneurship](https://rcedp.org/entrepreneurship-center) - [Business Support](https://rcedp.org/business-retention-expansion) - [Key Industries](https://rcedp.org/key-industries) - [Yampa Valley](https://rcedp.org/overview) - [Data](https://rcedp.org/data/communities) - [News](https://rcedp.org/news) - [About Us](https://rcedp.org/partnership) - [Donate](https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/Routt-County-Economic-Development-Partnership) Copyright © 2024 Routt County Economic Development Partnership [Privacy Policy](https://rcedp.org/privacypolicy) | [Terms and Conditions](https://rcedp.org/termsandconditions) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Steamboat Pilot & Today", "url" : "https://rcedp.org/news/author/steamboat-pilot-today" }, "dateModified" : "2025-03-25T22:09:39.386Z", "datePublished" : "2025-02-07T23:00:00.000Z", "headline" : "Gear Up Vendor Village joins Winter Carnival lineup to boost Steamboat entrepreneurs", "image" : [ "https://rcedp.org/hubfs/IMG_2775.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://rcedp.org/news/gear-up", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://rcedp.org/hubfs/RCEDP-logo-color.png" }, "name" : "Routt County Economic Development Partnership" } } ```
