The Cotopaxi Lions Club is marking two decades of service, and they’re inviting the community to celebrate with them! Join the festivities on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Cutty’s Campground in Coaldale.
A social hour and cash bar kick things off at 5:00 PM, followed by dinner and the official 20‑year celebration at 6:00 PM. Expect an evening filled with great food, entertainment, prizes, and a raffle.
Tickets are $40 per person, and while the flyer does note that the RSVP is required by September 1, I was informed by Melodi Tezak that there are still openings available. Cutty’s is also offering 50% off lodging for attendees throughout the celebration weekend.
For RSVPs, contact Melodi Tezak (719‑942‑4156) or Betsy Denny (719‑942‑3679)

If your idea of “mitigation” is crossing your fingers when the wind picks up, it’s time for an upgrade. Shea Garcia from Arkansas River Watershed Health will be at the Howard Volunteer Fire Department Station on Saturday, October 17 at 10 a.m. for a free Wildfire Mitigation Workshop.
Come learn how to keep your home and property on the nice list when fire season rolls around. It’s open to everyone — no RSVP, no fee, just good advice and maybe a few “why didn’t I think of that?” moments.
Free, friendly, and fiery in all the right ways.
