A FUN time was had by all

The City of Gunnison had two fun events in the past few days!

Downtown Halloween Crowd

The Downtown Halloween Event on the afternoon of October 31st, was a successful and fun time.  The City blocked off the first 3 blocks of North Main Street and the little ghosts and goblins had a great time trick or treating at the participating businesses downtown.  There were even zombies dancing in the middle of the street!  The streets were cleared and the Main Street thoroughfare was reopened in time for the after work traffic to proceed home to their own trick or treaters!

Downtown Zombies!



Downtown Trick or Treater

BIG THANKS to the Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the event, the VERY generous and fun-loving downtown merchants who participated in the event, the City Public Works crew for providing the barricades and the Gunnison Police Department for ensuring everyone's safety. 

The second amazing event was the dedication of the City's new Jorgensen Skatepark.  The 
City received a GOCO grant to fund the project, and the contractor "Team Pain" was fantastic in their design, construction and expertise in completing the fabulous bowls. 
A crowd gathered on Saturday morning, November 3rd for the dedication.  Many local service organizations, individuals and businesses contributed to the project.  The Parks crew was instrumental in the success of the project.  As the skatepark was completed, local skaters and bikers lined up for their chance to try out the new concrete!
