Memorial weekend

The weather will be spectacular in the mountains this weekend -- sunny, highs in the mid-80's and cool nights. There is much to do, as well.

Saturday is clean-up day at HCR. We have a large dumpster available for any "forest waste" that you may want to remove from your lot. The dumpster will be located on the common property near the water treatment plant, and will remain there until next Thursday 5/31. It is very important that ONLY forest waste goes into the dumpster (branches, logs, brush, leaves, pine needles). No construction debris, no lumber, no plastic bags, no garbage. The county is providing this for free, but if we abuse the rules, we will be fined and lose future rights to this service.

Work crews will be doing some painting on HCR properties and the entry gate area. Volunteers are needed. Meet at the front gate at 8am, and bring brushes/rollers if you have them. Work will wrap up by noon, so the crews can get over to Christopher Creek for burgers and brats.

The Creek will have a variety of activities during the weekend to raise more funds for the firebreak project. From noon to 5pm on Saturday there will be burgers and brats at the firehouse. At the same time there will be a silent auction and a baked goods sale (if you can donate baked goods, please try to bring them by 10am). Raffle tickets will also be sold for five items: a rifle, a shotgun, two quilts, and a guitar.

On Sunday from 2pm to 4pm is a concert by the group Mogollon (they are really good -- from Heber/Overgard, but they play all around the southwest). The concert will be on the grounds beside Creekside Restaurant. The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for kids, or $30 for the full family. The raffle winners will be drawn during the concert.

Come on up for a fun weekend!
