The Frill Is Gone
As the photo shows, recent changes are visible at the former Eastin gallery.
The purchase of the building and land by the Allenspark Community Cultures Council was completed on October 2. Thanks are extended to the more than 150 participants who donated dollars to this community treasure. Together, in the true spirit of community cooperation, we’ve accomplished our first big objective!
We had a couple of good work days this weekend, during which a number of generous volunteers pitched in with enthusiasm. The white trim with hearts and icicles has come down, and is being replaced with new trim made of donated log siding. Most of the new trim is already up.
Ernie the Elk is now back on his pedestal — at least until the winter comes. Inside, the temporary rough wood counters have been removed, as have the odd-looking yellow panels (the wooden structural posts under the panels are still in place). The windows throughout the first floor have been washed, the floors have been vacuumed, scrubbed, and waxed, and the whole main floor has been dusted. Our community place now looks much more open, clean, and welcoming.
