Good morning, Grand Junction. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 19th of October.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Grand Valley Horse Rescue in Grand Junction faces closure if it does not raise $2,600 by the end of October as low sponsorship and poor event turnout have strained its funds; director Shelle DeVergie has used personal money and now calls on local support—especially from families of young riders—to keep the nonprofit running. The group relies on upcoming events and community contributions to avoid a permanent shutdown. Grand Junction Daily Sentinel
