Prom is a rite of passage.
Finding the right dress or tuxedo, getting together with friends for dinner and photos, and the dance itself. Itâs something students have to look forward to every year. But last year was different. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the high school staple was canceled for School District 51 juniors and seniors.
That gave this yearâs dance an added importance for Ashleigh Orton and Silvia Vasquez, both 16. Both helped plan Palisade High Schoolâs prom and, on Saturday at Las Colonias Amphitheatre, the culmination of months of work amid uncertainty finally arrived.
âIâm glad weâre able to have a dance. At the beginning of the year, we were told that prom wasnât approved yet, but we have to plan as if it was going to happen,â Orton said. âWe kept worrying that all of our planning was going to be for nothing, but Iâm excited that our effort has gone to something. Iâm just happy we all get to see the final
No one wants to float down a waterway full of plastic bags and bottles this summer, so groups of volunteers waded down the Colorado River on Saturday for a river cleanup.
The annual event is organized by the Grand Valley Paddling Club. This is the first of two meetups planned this year, with another taking place in Montrose in August.
A few dozen people met at Corn Lake and Las Colonias to launch boats and kayaks so they could float down the river and do some community service along the way.
âWe generally haul in about two tons of trash on this site. We usually donât do it in the spring, but we just canât get it all in one trip,â said Tor Larson, an event organizer. âIâve been doing this for eight years, and this is our biggest year yet. Our first year had maybe three boats.â
Grand Valley Bike Month happening next month.
Iâm not what you would call a die-hard âspokesâ person or pedal head, but I do love a good mountain bike bomb or a leisurely cruise through the countryside.
Whether youâre a âcycle-path,â a smooth cruiser or a knobby know-it-all, when it comes to biking, youâll find plenty happening to get â and keep â the wheels turning.
Here are some highlights of this yearâs event:
A Bicycle Resource Fair, to kick of Grand Valley Bike Month, will go from 10 a.m.ânoon, Saturday, May 1, at the Central Library, Mesa County Libraries, 443 N. Sixth St. There will be a variety of bicycle resources and information from local organizations, bike commuting, bike maintenance, Safe Routes to School, safety, health/training tips, helmet fitting, bike registration, helmets for kids and more.
