As many of you know, the town of BV has started its third phase of the BV River park improvements. This will include 3 incredible rock climbing boulders for public use, a new in stream whitewater feature, new trail signage, additional benches, and more trash receptacles. All work will be done this summer, fall and next winter. So by spring of 2010, our BV River Park will be the better than the best has to offer. If you have not noticed already, this park is getting a tremendous amount of use daily and is bringing and keeping a ton of folks in our town.
Funding for this project is a collaborative effort between the town of BV, South Main, local citizen support, and GOCO state lottery funding. We (the public) are committed to fund raise $7,000 this summer to assist in matching grants for the overall scope of the project. We started with Paddle Fest and the P and H Ball to get the funding rolling this spring. Now is the time to unite to raise the additional amounts so we all can enjoy this gigantic and incredible resource in town used by bikers, paddlers, climbers, fishermen, and sight seers’ alike.

What- Community Garage Sale
Where- BV Community Center
(Corner of E Main and South Main)
When- November 7th- 8 am-2 pm
How can you help? – Start to collect items that you usually give to Goodwill, Global Garage and/or Newbees. Stuff that has some value, but not quite valuable enough that you want to deal with selling it on your own on E bay or Craig’s List. Old outdoor gear, clothing, kitchen wear, shoes, kid’s items, old bikes, skis, paddling gear, etc. Anything really that you would find at a typical garage sale. You may be interested in donating some “cool” items since all the proceeds will be benefitting the future or this park.
You can drop off your donated items starting November 4th at 2 convenient locations at The Trailhead -on Highway 24 in Buena Vista, and CKS on E Main St in Buena Vista. Items can also be brought by the Community Center the day of the sale. All un-sold items on Saturday afternoon will be donated to Newbees. Please do not donate items that already belong at the “dump”.
