Water & Fire

The good news first....  Five water samples were taken on June 10, 2012 and all tested clean. So there are no water quality concerns at this time.

For those of you who were not available to attend the Canyon Rim Work Party last week, you missed a fun and very productive day.  We had over 50 folks working in the morning and we tackled a long list of projects around Canyon Rim. Many additional family members joined us for a fantastic potluck lunch after the work was done. Thanks again to the Harpers for hosting the lunch and thanks to all of you that worked so hard in the morning!

Now the bad news....   Many of you have already heard in the news that Statewide fire restrictions are in place due to the high fire danger this year. In Summit County, the ban on fires includes ALL outdoor fire pits, no matter if it is permanent, improved, covered, or whatever.  A notice on the fire restrictions will be posted on the gate to CRR. Enclosed barbecue grills are still OK to use but please be extra careful. To give you an idea of how bad the conditions are, Summit County has already responded to 47 fires this year; compare that to 45 fires total in all of 2011. Please be very cautious this summer.

Work Day Projects

Join us on Saturday, June 9, 2012, for breakfast, work, and lunch. 

Bring your gloves and tools and join us for some fun projects like:

• Painting a tank, barrier, door, shed, or bridge
• Cleaning up roadways, barrow pits, culverts, or hillsides
• Replacing signs
• Reading water meters
• Gathering trash and even large items
• Removing silt fences
• Cutting brush

Meet us in the Winter Parking Lot at 8:30 a.m. for a quick breakfast. 

Then make some new friends working on one of the projects for a few hours.
We'll have a large dumpster for trash collected during the day and coming week in the winter parking lot for about 10 days -- NO hazardous materials or electronics please.

Meet at 1:00 p.m. at the Harper's for lunch. 

Bring your own chairs and a potluck dish to share. 

Pulled pork and hotdogs will be provided. 

This is one of those things that makes Canyon Rim Ranches such a great association!

Thank you!
