It’s beautiful — and it’s a responsibility. That’s why events like the Fire Mitigation Clinic at Howard Hall matter so much. \nLed by Fremont County Ag Agent Kelsey Story\, this hands‑on workshop brings practical\, boots‑on‑the‑ground knowledge straight to the people who need it most: homeowners\, land stewards\, and anyone who wants to better protect their property. Kelsey has a knack for breaking down fire science into real‑world steps — the kind that make you look at your trees\, brush\, and outbuildings with new eyes. \nParticipants learn how to create defensible space\, reduce ladder fuels\, choose safer landscaping options\, and understand how wildfire behaves in our terrain. It’s not doom‑and‑gloom; it’s empowerment. And it’s exactly the kind of community‑driven preparedness that keeps Pleasant Valley resilient. \nThere’s something grounding about neighbors gathering with gloves\, questions\, and a shared goal: keeping our valley safe. Whether you’re new to the area or a long‑timer who’s seen a few smoky summers\, this clinic is a chance to learn\, connect\, and take action before fire season ramps up.

On Sunday\, May 24th\, they’re bringing in The Atomic Fireballs\, a long‑running Pueblo‑based band known across southern Colorado for their upbeat mix of classic rock\, country\, and dance‑hall favorites. \nThis isn’t the Detroit swing revival group with the same name — this is our regional Atomic Fireballs\, the ones who pack Elks halls\, Eagles clubs\, and community dances from Pueblo to Colorado Springs. Their shows are built for a good time: familiar tunes\, strong vocals\, and the kind of rhythm section that keeps boots tapping and couples drifting toward the dance floor. \nPair that with the Dusty Rose Roadhouse’s riverside setup at Dark Sky River Lodge\, plus BBQ\, drinks\, and the late‑spring light settling over the Arkansas\, and you’ve got one of those Pleasant Valley evenings that just feels right. Music runs 5–8 PM\, and everyone’s welcome.

I did not see him but know people who did and that were totally floored. \n“Sam is often described as an “old soul singer songwriter.” A New England based\, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne\, Sam adds a modern\, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer\, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring\, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox\, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville\, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals”.\nThis will be an evening concert\, stay tuned for more details (ticketing\, times\, etc.).\n“One of the most promising new songwriters of his generation” — Mike Davies\, Fateau Magazine\, UK \nPurchase tickets for this upcoming event: https://www.mightysquirrelproductions.com/ URL:https://pleasantvalley.life/event/sam-robbins-in-concert/ LOCATION:Coaldale Schoolhouse\, 287 Hayden Creek Road\, Coaldale\, CO\, 81222\, United States CATEGORIES:Coaldale Schoolhouse ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://pleasantvalley.life/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SamRobbins.FinalPoster.2026.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260802T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260802T190000 DTSTAMP:20260710T140445Z CREATED:20260710T140445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260710T140445Z UID:1260-1785690000-1785697200@pleasantvalley.life SUMMARY:Howard/Cotopaxi Community Potluck DESCRIPTION:Christ Chapel of the Sangres is hosting a Howard/Cotopaxi Community Potluck on Sunday\, August 2 at 5:00 PM in Howard.

Hosted at the beautiful Cutty’s Hayden Creek Resort\, this carnival isn’t just about games\, music\, and bright tents fluttering in the August breeze. It’s about neighbors coming together to support families across Central Colorado who are struggling with food insecurity. \nThe Grainery’s mission has always been simple: feed people with dignity and hope. Pack the Park turns that mission into a celebration — a day where kids laugh\, parents relax\, and local businesses step up as sponsors to make a real difference. Every booth\, every ride\, every sponsorship dollar helps keep shelves stocked and meals on tables. \nIt’s the kind of event that reminds us what community looks like when everyone shows up: colorful\, joyful\, generous\, and determined to take care of one another. Whether you’re attending\, volunteering\, or sponsoring\, you’re part of something that stretches far beyond a single Saturday.
