The Roxborough Arts Council (RAC) is a non-profit organization supported by membership dues, activities, private donations and sponsorships as well as grants from the Scientific Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The council welcomes all levels of artists in  all mediums. Many of the art that comes from the council is on display and for sale at the Rox Arts Gallery in the Roxborough Marketplace. Formerly between Waterton Tavern and Roxborough Academy of Martial Arts, the gallery has relocated to the 2nd floor of the marketplace just left of the elevator.

You say the word “traffic” in Roxborough, and residents typically would say, “where?” But  that’s not the case of late. We are surrounded by it. We can’t get out or in without experiencing a bit of it. But, before we all get going on how frustrating it is, let’s remember a couple things. One, its temporary…or at least that’s the plan. And two, it could be a lot worse.

A fire off Highway 85 and Chatridge Court forced over 800 residents to evacuate their homes, Friday, October 28, 2016. According to South Metro Fire, the fire was caused by malfunctioning equipment on a power pole. The fire scorched 205 acres before it was fully contained. Luckily no damage was caused to structures in the area but certainly a scary moment for many.

Halloween seemed to sneak up on me this year. I’m chalking it up to the fact that this month was warmer than normal so summer still seemed to be hanging in there. Regardless, Halloween is less than a week away and I am still without a costume. I can’t imagine I’m the only one in this boat. Therefore, I have come up with a list of fun and easy costumes you can throw together last minute.

Autumn is in full swing! Mornings and evenings in Roxborough are crisp, aspen trees are hanging onto remaining gold leaves, and the deer are raiding what’s left of gardens. Even though we are experiencing a warm October, winter is just around the corner and Roxborough residents should be prepping their homes and landscapes for the cold months ahead.

There’s a lot going on at Seven Stones this week. In fact there has been a lot going on over the past few months. Anyone that drives by the botanical cemetery can clearly see the progress in the landscaping. But, this week’s events gives an excuse to pull in and really check it all out.
