An unwelcome surprise this year was the discovery that the Depot’s main structural beam and other supports had rotted. But this month, temporary vertical supports to hold up the roof were erected, the old vertical and horizontal beams replaced and the temporary ones removed. All part of the rehabilitation funded by the State Historical Fund and donors like you.
We also did more printing with elementary school kids - at Bishop, Cherrelyn and, below, at Charles Hay World School.
Board members Kirk Benson and Dave Laskowski II. Kirk also is an arts specialist in Englewood schools.
Then it was time for the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Some samples of what we printed: Board member Marc Silberman designed the vegetable laden-tribute to Colorado agriculture for the event and Executive Director Tom Parson had fun printing various cuts.
Also some great railroad finds at the next door ephemera show!
