Gunnison Weekend

The National Weather Service is predicting a sunny and warming weekend ahead. As always -there's lots to do in Gunnison!
There should be great spring skiing at the local ski areas or backcountry skiiing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling at higher elevations. There is still ice fishing at Blue Mesa Reservoir. Be sure and take your sunglasses and sunscreen! It will be bright out on the ice. There's ice skating at the indoor Jorgensen Ice Rink and the covered outdoor rink (if it doesn't get too warm), climbing on the indoor climbing wall and of course swimming in the leisure and lap pools at the Gunnison Community Center. With the sunny weather, take a hike, jog, or bike ride on the City trails and bike lanes, or hit the basketball courts at Legion or the Meadows Parks. In the evening, the Gunnison Arts Center is presenting their annual "SonofaGunn" play, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week and next week. This year's production is entitled "The Producers - Way, Way, Off Broadway". Go the Gunnison Art Center's website for more information.
Saturday afternoon at 2pm, the 60th Annual Firemen's Concert Series continues at WSC's Taylor Auditorium with the Western Slope Choral Festival. Admission is by donation and supports the Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department.
After enjoying your favorite recreational pastime, visit the local shops for unique clothes, gifts, sporting goods or home decor, and inviting restaurants to round out your day. Several of the local hot spots will be featuring live music this weekend. And, you can always catch the movie at the Ruby Cinema in the WSC College Center on campus. Check our their website. (Google "Ruby Cinema Gunnison" for details.)
Don't forget...spring ahead your clocks late Saturday night before going to bed. Daylight Savings Time starts at 2:00 A.M. early Sunday morning. It'll be hard getting out of bed on Monday morning, but it will stay lighter in the evening. Have a great weekend.
