n a progressive society, in a progressive Imunicipal microcosm of that ideal global village, police are in integral part of the community. Their jobs are woven into the fabric of a peaceable and forward-looking citizenry. Establishing that sort of balanced civic environment is a job for the local police department, for the county sheriff’s and state police department too; but it will also take the work of an active, engaged and knowledgeable bunch of humans to accomplish this goal. That’s why starting with school children makes sense as an educational strategy designed to improve relations with the local authorities.

The ArtWalk aims to introduce the pueblo’s artists and other community members to visitors. Both days, swing by between 10am and 5pm to meet artists and purchase unique pieces.
