WOW I just watched United 93.
At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it, it seemed low budget, no stars, the script seemed amateurish.. and then the more you watch it, the more you realize... this is VERY REALISTIC... the hero's involved in that plane.. were just regular people... who didn't have script writers, didn't have special effects scenes, didn't have a "something bad is going to happen" music track... and it ended with a blank screen... silence... and noone in the FULL theater in Parker, moved, breathed or said a word for quite some time... I can't say I enjoyed the movie.. because of course it brought back the events loud and clear.. but it was an important movie...

Where Do You Stand Politically
You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you
where you stand politically. It shows your position as a red dot on
a "political map" so you'll see exactly where you score.
The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond
the Democrat, Republican, Independent. The Quiz has gotten a lot of
praise. The Washington Post said it has "gained respect as a valid
measure of a person's political leanings." The Fraser Institute
said it's "a fast, fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political
views." Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political quiz
out there."

The day will be filled with free festivities for all ages. Kids will enjoy bouncing in the pony-themed bounce house, visiting with animals at the petting zoo, taking a pony ride, listening to a historic storyteller, getting their face painted, helping to paint an art mural and more!
Parents can dance to live music while the kids play or enjoy a historic walking tour of downtown Parker. Festive western Town of Parker bandanas and Frisbees will be given out to participants on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Hotdogs, hamburgers and other treats will be available from vendors for a small charge and Parker’s own Olde Timer Popcorn Truck will be on hand selling specialty snacks!
Help us celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated O’Brien Park at Noon and kick off the dedication of our Public Art Piece and the Bricks to Art Plaza at 1 p.m.
This is our opportunity to say thank you to all of our residents for choosing to live in our wonderful town! Thank you for being a part of our community and for helping make Parker what it is today.
This event is sponsored in part by $35 Million Cash Spectacular, the new game from the Colorado Lottery. The Parker Recreation Department reminds Parker residents that when they play $35 Million Cash Spectacular, they keep Parker parks and recreation facilities spectacular, too, because proceeds from the Lottery are returned to our own community.

St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, an official Parker Landmark.
In February, the Parker Town Council officially approved the Landmarks Commission’s recommendation to name the Ave Maria Chapel, otherwise known as the St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, an official Parker Landmark.
The public is invited to celebrate the new Landmark designation at a special ceremony at the Chapel, 19580 Pilgrim’s Place, on Sunday April 23 at 12:30 p.m.
To be approved for Landmark status, the following criteria must be met:
• It embodies and exemplifies, whether in residential, special purpose or utilitarian form, distinguishing and specific elements of an architectural style or period.
• It is at least fifty (50) years old, and thus qualifies as a "historic"
structure.
In addition to meeting the above criterion, the chapel is deemed to retain original design features, material and character and is located in its original location.
There are now13 designated landmarks in the Town of Parker. While some of
the Landmarks are no longer standing, they continue to be landmarked as
places of historical significance.
A self-guided "Historic Walking Tour" brochure is available at Town Hall,
20120 E. Mainstreet. For more information, please call Leah Dawson at 303.841.0353.
