April 26 is Fourth Friday in Fruita. Fruita Fourth Friday will be April 26. The suggestion was made to have everyone who dresses up as for prom or such, to get a discount on perhaps, food or beverages. The fat Tire Festival is also that weekend so there will be al kinds of excitement in Fruita. Amy Gibbs is showing at Cornerstone. Brondon, from Frame Works will be showing at Pablo's Pizza. Jan, from Frameworks will be showing at the Copper Kettle.

Public art is becoming a possibility in Fruita with a group collaboration on a found object - type sculpture to be created. The interactive piece on the corner of Aspen Street just across from Circle Park will be moving. It has been accused of noise.  Come to Fruita, where the fun and voices are found.

The ZOO Quest Organization has signed a MOU with the City of Fruita. This means they are very serious about getting that facility headed for reality. Any donations for this most worthwhile enterprise will be most appreciated. Contact the web site http://gvzooquest.org/who-we-are/brochures/brochure where you will see a contact for donating.

This project will result in a wonderful educational and fun place for the Valley to visit. The City of Fruita is happy to see this endeavor continue to grow.

The Month of April is Autism Month as well as Save the Children Month. Remember, our children are our most precious National Treasure.
