Good morning, Grand Junction.

At Mesa County Fair on Friday, the Sunshine Class paired nearly 20 children with disabilities and veteran 4-H members to show goats and sheep in an ADA-approved ring (a sign of growing inclusion); Kostur said an anonymous donation will fund next year plus a planned launch in Montrose County.

The Grand Junction Union Depot project received $624,000 in Community Revitalization Tax Credits from Colorado Creative Industries on Wednesday, raising confidence for its upcoming roof replacement and broader restoration that will add transportation, retail, and cultural spaces while the depot had raised over $1 million so far.

Students from Palisade High School's rock band Revelation held a benefit concert Saturday afternoon to raise funds for their injured friend Wesley Reimer, who was hurt in a DUI crash last November; Reimer, now home, attended the event and enjoyed his favorite songs.

The Grand Valley Equine Assisted Learning Center held a volunteer day Saturday morning at historic Moon Farm to help with animal care and maintenance work (drought issues heightened the need).

Future volunteer days, including Halloween-themed events, will offer more chances for community members to join in.

The Fogle family lost their 4-H turkeys to a predator attack but received donated birds from poultry farmer Brooklynne Russell, allowing the brothers to compete in the Mesa County Fair showmanship contest.
