Memorial Day in Salida

Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching and Salida is the place to be. The weather looks great with plenty of sun and highs in the 60s. The "Bluegrass on the Arkansas" music festival is scheduled for Sunday the 30th in Riverside Park. The music begins at 12 noon and lasts until 6pm. Food and drink will be available. Get out and enjoy the great music with your family, friends and neighbors.

Spring Weekend!

Although the weather leads us to believe it is still winter, all of the great activities this weekend are all about springtime fun. Salida High School's graduation is tonight at 8pm. We as a community are so proud of each and everyone of these hardworking students and all that they have accomplished. Secondly, the Cruiser Crit is tomorrow May 15th at 4pm. This is a great FIBArk fundraiser. Registration starts at 3pm in Riverside Park. Kids are $5 and adults are $15. Costumes Preferred... Helmets Required. This is sure to be a great time for everyone. Get out and enjoy your weekend and we shall all keep our fingers crossed for good weather!

Solar Power

With the snow starting to melt and longer days upon us, all everyone can think about is sunshine. It is so nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful days with your family and friends. To make summertime even more fun and educational and to celebrate the sun we are now carrying solar-powered built-it-yourself kits. These kits include everything you need to build your own solar-powered creation. There is a solar-powered hopping frog, a horse, a robot and even a solar-powered solar system. We built up the frog so if you want to check him out here is here for your hopping pleasure. As solar power is a very real alternative energy option for those of us living in sunny Colorado, we think it is really great that solar power is being incorporated into toys. A generation of children who grow up with solar powered toys will have the appreciation and understanding to take this technology to the next level in their adult lives.
