Small Town Christmas
The best way to build a sense of community is to be involved with your community. Why not start with a small commitment with volunteer opportunities for the upcoming Elizabeth Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting? We are still looking for baker elves willing to make four dozen Christmas tree sugar cookies. We are also seeking a few more volunteers to help hand out cookies that afternoon, December 3rd, and assist at other booths along Main Street. Join in the fun and help your neighbors get into the holiday spirit. Email sheila.zuschek@elbertcountyagalliance.org.
Wildcrafting Class
Olde Willow Mercantile will be hosting an herbalism class for adults on December 3rd from 9:00 am. to noon. Students will learn about herbs and their uses and will be able to make three different herbal remedies. Text Kim at 720-849-8337 for more information.
Tourism on the Plains
If you are interested in getting involved in tourism here on the eastern plains, plan on attending the East Central Council of Governments’ workshop on tourism on November 29th at the Limon Community Center from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. RSVP to Candace at 719-348-5562. If you can’t make it to Limon, but are interested in learning more about developing agritourism on your property, hosting guests for farm stays, or promoting tourism in the county, contact Sheila Zuschek at sheila.zuschek@elbertcountyagalliance.org.
