 🥰 If Hallmark Made Tie-Dye: Captain Drips Studio's Love Story

Captain Drips Tie Dye Studio

 👩‍🎨 Sometimes The Most Vibrant Dreams Start With An Unexpected Turn...

Like your favorite romance movie, this story begins on a school bus in upstate New York, where two free spirited kids found each other just a mile apart. Holly and Matty Hilts' tale of friendship-turned-love now flourishes in Old Colorado City at Captain Drips Tie Dye Studio – proving some of the best stories come with a splash of color.

When life threw them a curveball with a flooded basement, they saw opportunity blooming. That space became their first studio, where years of hosting artistic tie-dye gatherings evolved into something bigger. While balancing their careers, they've transformed their passion into a welcoming haven at 2215 West Colorado Ave, where everyday moments become wearable art.

Curious about their name and logo? Thank the Grateful Dead's, Jerry Garcia and his "Captain Trips" nickname. 💀

Though they help you create stunning designs year-round, Holly and Matty’s eyes light up when it snows – that's when they craft their signature Rocky Mountain snow-dyed pieces, infusing a touch of Colorado magic to your creation.

🌉 Is the Fillmore Bridge Safe?

Fillmore Bridge

Residents have expressed concerns about the Fillmore Street bridge's safety due to a tilted rocker bearing. However, the City of Colorado Springs states the bridge is safe, with regular inspections ensuring its stability. An open house was held to discuss the bridge's upcoming improvement project, which is still in the initial phase and will span several years. The city encourages community engagement as plans progress.
