The air is getting crisp and there is a feel of fall in the air. But...there is still a lot to do outside this weekend!
Tonight, Friday, September 7th is the First Friday Gallery Crawl, starting at 5pm in downtown Gunnison. Stroll the sidewalks and check out the fabulous and thought-provoking art at the numerous galleries and venues. Enjoy some music and light refreshments before heading to one of the great restaurants in Gunnison. There's everything from chinese to italian to mexican to BBQ to vegetarian to fusion to good old american cuisine offered at a good variety of establishments. Check one out!
As the sun sets, drive south of town to the Gunnison Valley Observatory. Tonight and Saturday night's public viewing through the 30" telescope will be started off with a classroom talk on "Stellar Evolution". Find out how stars are "born" and how they evolve through their lifetimes. It's fascinating! You can then see the rings of Saturn or perhaps the "Ring Nebula". Check out Western State's own constellation - the "W" shaped "Cassiopeia" constellation!
Saturday morning, ride your townie to the Gunnison Farmers' Market on the 100 block of East Virginia downtown. The fall harvest is coming in and you can select from a plethora of fresh produce, baked goods, organic beef and meats, wonderful arts and crafts, and wines. You can also select lunch from a variety of food vendors on hand.
After picking up your healthy fruits and veggies, get out side and enjoy some of the great outdoor adventures to be had in the Valley! After all - Gunnison is the Base Camp to the Rocky Mountains! You can't go wrong with a bike ride, trail hike, fishing, boating or admiring the changing autumn leaves! Have a safe and fun weekend!
