It was another busy week in Gunnison. The Streets and Alleys crew are performing street maintenance, including street sweeping, pothole repairs and fixing street signs. The water and sewer crew have been sending a miniature camera through the sewer lines to detect breaks and problems. This can pinpoint the areas that need repair without having to dig up the entire line. Retrofitting of the old dumpsters for pickup by the new refuse truck continues. Grinding of tree limbs, waste asphalt and concrete has been completed. The ground organic material is used in the composting operation at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to make "Gunnison Gold Compost". The Finance Department is processing utility bills and the Clerks Department is working on completing open records requests, processing Court paperwork and working on a couple of new liquor license applications.
This weekend there will be music on the Gunnison Arts Center patio on Friday evening at 5pm. Saturday will be a busy day at Jorgensen Park with the annual Wet Grocer Softball Tournament and the Colorado State Marbles Tournament. Head on over to the park and watch the action! Saturday will also see the Farmers Market downtown adjacent to the IOOF Park on East Virginia Avenue and Sundays at 7 will take place at Legion Park - obviously on Sunday starting at 7pm.
Cattlemen's Days starts up and the Annual 4-H Horse Show takes place at the Gunnison Rodeo Grounds on Saturday. Good luck to all of the participants. Yee-haw! Have a safe and happy relaxing weekend.
