A Clamper, who gave his name as R.J. and said he was the Humbug of Colorado, reads a historical plaque unveiled in 2013 at the Columbine Bar in Mancos.<\/span>Tobie Baker\/The Journal<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Formerly held by a six-person partnership, The Columbine is now owned by Tammy Davison, Michael Trejo and Sherri Duran. Effective Jan. 1, the ownership transfer was officially approved by the Mancos town board last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main goals for us is to keep The Columbine, The Columbine,\u201d said new co-owner Tammy Davison. \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful and historic bar that has been a gathering spot for locals and visitors for more than 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davison, one of the six previous owners, said she joined with Trejo and Duran to purchase a larger percentage of the business. She and Trejo have been residents of Mancos since 2007, and Duran has lived in Mancos since 1980. All three are natives of Arizona.<\/p>\n

With more than 20 years of professional experience managing bars and taverns, Davison explained that meeting interesting people was the best industry perk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love talking football with customers,\u201d said the Green Bay Packers fan.<\/p>\n

Although a painted sign hanging from wooden rafters dates the saloon to 1903, a plaque bestowed by The Clampers on the exterior of the brick fa\u00e7ade indicates the Columbine was established in 1910.<\/p>\n

Despite the seven-year gap in the saloon\u2019s founding date, there are no qualms about the notoriety of The Columbine, including the murder of a former owner by his estranged wife. At one time, children in Mancos were also warned to walk on the other side of Grand Avenue when passing the saloon.<\/p>\n

The earliest known saloon owner was Walt Coppinger, who operated the Columbine in the 1930s.<\/p>\n
