Thank you, Alan Vannorman

Alan Vannorman apparently knows what small communities are all about. A teacher with GOAL Academy, Alan took it upon himself to organize the memorial battle of the bands Saturday evening at Pioneer Park.

What a celebration! And what a huge amount of work!

Events such as this always take a lot of volunteers, but generally there has to be one person at the helm who manages to keep it all together. We don’t know how much help Alan had, because his was the name that kept coming up every time this project was mentioned.

Pioneer Park was full of food vendors and musicians, all putting their best foot forward to raise money to help their friends and neighbors who suffered a terrible tragedy. Fund went to the families of Jessica and Lacey Dunovsky and Abelina Gallegos.

Alan’s work was a blessing to them, but it was also a blessing for the entire community.

Thanks, Alan, for your dedication.

US50 users need consideration

Regarding a decision on Christo’s artistic pragmatism, the greatest weight should be given to the people whose daily practicality, livelihood, and safety is dependent on ready access to Highway 50.

Respectfully,

Thank you note

Thank you, primary voters

Thank you for participating in your Party’s primary! You will now see me on the ballot in November thanks to you who voted for me in my successful race for the Democratic candidacy for Fremont County Clerk and Recorder. Thank you also to my gracious and worthy opponent in our race of positive choices.

I’ve had the chance to meet many of you and hear your hopes for the future. It makes me even more anxious to serve as your next excellent County Clerk and Recorder.

he primary process in Colorado can be confusing, to candidates as well as voters. But primary elections are very important for both Republicans and Democrats, since at no other time do our individual votes count for so much.  The more we all become involved in our government by exercising our right to vote in free and fair elections, the less we have to fear from government – because it is us! If I am elected in November, I pledge to help us better understand and fully use our election process through community outreach, clean elections, and continued excellent customer service at the Clerk and Recorder’s office.

I will see you as my campaign buzzes through to November.

Jeri Fry

Democratic Candidate for

Fremont County Clerk & Recorder
