Riverfront Concert Series

We just got back from a fun concert at the James M. Robb Colorado
River State Park in Fruita featuring Carrie Rodriguez, who is a singer
and fiddle player. The Colorado Riverfront Foundation hosts several
of these free concerts each summer. Proceeds from the sale of food
and drinks go to the Riverfront Foundation for building new sections
of the Riverfront Trail. The venue has a great backdrop of the Colorado
National Monument and there aren't any permanent seats so everyone
brings their lawn chairs or blankets. We met up with our friends Jim
and Judey and we enjoyed hanging out.


The skies threatened to open up and rain all over us the entire
time we were there, but it made for some really pretty sunset
clouds. At around 10pm we felt the first drops and that was our
signal to head out. We had fun and will probably go to a few more
of these concerts next summer.

Dirty Laundry

At the end of every summer, the Housing Department is faced
with the aftermath of the season...Dirty Laundry. How much
dirty laundry you ask? About enough to fill a 40 foot long
milvan shipping container. This is primarily sheets, pillow
cases, comforters, blankets...you get the idea. It can be
a bit daunting to say the least. Jim and Talie look exhausted
just thinking about it.


However...by this time of year, most of the laundry has been
washed, folded and bagged for the upcoming summer season.
Talie's done a great job getting things ready. Each of those
bags behind her will go on someone's bed this summer and be
waiting for them when they arrive.
