ELHI opens Inspiration Square

he third annual Fall Harvest Festival began with the T ribbon cutting for the new “Inspiration Square” on Friday, Oct. 5. The Square is a newly founded space for public events to be hosted, and for people to nurture new ideas and art. Post ribbon cutting, families spent the night playing cornhole, while eating the barbeque served and visiting with the many booths that were set up. In addition to the games, kids were encouraged to ride on the horse drawn carriage and get their faces painted, while their parents danced to some square stepping tunes and listened to the live music. As the night came to an end, buzzing conversation could be heard about the new square and families left smiling.

Forestry Fuels Program 2018-2019 The Forestry Division is gearing up for our 2018-2019 Fuels Program, which began on October 1, 2018 for enrolled Southern Ute tribal members.

Just as a reminder, enrolled tribal members that pick up their wood, may do so on Mondays and Wednesdays. Deliveries to the Elders and Disabled enrolled tribal members will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each enrolled tribal member will be allowed 3/4 Cord of wood per month. New enrollees into our program will need to call 970-563-4780. Please call at least four days in advance, as we only have one delivery truck and wood orders may be delayed until the next scheduled delivery date based on how busy we get each week.

If you would like a copy of the Policies and Procedures for our Program, please call 970-563-4780. News wawHchuwiini (8) October 12, 2018
