Deadline draws near to enter art show
The deadline for entries to the newest local art show, "Parker
Presents....A Celebration of Art 2006" is Sept. 6 and all entries must
be postmarked by this time to be eligible. This show is replacing "Images
of Parker."
"We felt that after 13 years, it was time to change things up a bit,"
said Bill Meyer, the Town's Cultural/Leisure Programs Coordinator.
"However, we are including an 'Images of Parker' category so folks that have a
strong desire to create a Parker-specific work won't be left out."
The show is scheduled for Oct. 6 through Nov. 3 at the Parker
Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet. It will feature both amateur and
professional artists from the Parker area, as well as from surrounding communities.
This year's show has new guidelines which are available online at
www.parkerpresents.org or by calling 303.805.3263.
A Celebration of Art is open to artists 18 and older. A separate
student show will be held later this winter. A free opening reception will be
held Friday, Oct. 6 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to
attend and meet the artists. The show will be on display during regular
Mainstreet Center business hours through Nov. 3. Call 303.805.7728 for
more information on exhibit hours.

Sunday Concert in the Park Series
Local Family Band to Close Concerts in the Park Series on Aug. 27
Join the Parker Cultural Commission on Sunday, Aug. 27 from 1-3 p.m. for a free concert by local band Joe Fornothin’ (formerly Loose Change) at O'Brien Park in downtown Parker. The concert is free and complimentary ice cream will be provided by the Parker Water and Sanitation District, with additional sponsorship provided by the SCFD.
It's all in the family with 2005 Douglas County Libraries Teen Battle of the Bands winner Joe Fornothin’. This band is a true family affair, with Tyler Bills on guitar and vocals, Devin Bills on bass and dad Mark Bills on drums and percussion. Both Tyler and Devin attend Ponderosa High School in Parker. Joe Fornothin’ plays a mixture of classic and new rock favorites, mixed with original compositions, and they are currently working on their first full-length CD. The band was formed back in February 2005 in the family basement, which has since been transformed into their official rehearsal studio.
Mark Bills uses the experience gleaned from his college days in his band Lost & Found to help his sons learn what it takes to be successful in the music business these days. "They are realizing that putting everything together, like the logo, T-shirts and booking gigs takes a lot of hard work and time," says dad.

New Fitness Classes Coming in September
New Fitness Classes Coming in September
The Parker Recreation Center is kicking off fall with a new lineup of fitness class choices. Class changes go into effect after Labor Day unless otherwise noted. Group fitness classes, including yoga and Pilates, are included with daily admission or membership.
Several new classes will be offered during the 5 to 6 p.m. time slot. On Mondays, join Elsie Todd’s Step and Pump class. This is an interval-based step class which combines aerobics with group strength equipment. On Tuesdays at 5 p.m. the facility has added an additional Pilates-based core strengthening class called Power-lates. JoAna will work you through movements that will tone your core, upper and lower body simultaneously. Wednesday’s new 5 p.m. class is Step, Strength and Stabilize with Elsie. The workout begins with step aerobics for your cardiovascular workout, then you will use a variety of resistance equipment for strength and stability training.
Join Mich Wruck for Hard Bodies, 9:30-11 a.m. on Wednesdays. Participants will start with 45 minutes of non-stop cardio, followed by 45 minutes of strength training. The class will primarily use the "Iron Grip" strength equipment. This class will get your heart-pumping, burn calories, burn fat, improve tone and increase your endurance. Be prepared to sweat.
Parker area seniors will be offered two weekly sessions of First Gear Senior Cycling after Labor Day. Beginning Thursday, Sept. 7, First Gear will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 11:30 a.m. “Many older adults are intimidated by a group cycling class and therefore miss out on all the benefits,” says Fitness and Wellness Coordinator Kim Bailey, “First gear is designed to build seniors’ confidence and endurance on the bikes so they feel comfortable at any of the group cycling classes Parker Recreation offers.”
Weekend workout choices will also expand for fall. Beginning Saturday, Sept. 16 and Sunday, Sept. 17 Parker Recreation’s fall/winter cycling schedule resumes and 9:30 a.m. classes return. New instructors have new rides in store for you. Advanced Yoga, Sundays at 10:15 a.m. beginning Sept. 17, is a more challenging vinyasa/flow practice which builds strength and flexibility. Basic knowledge of asanas and breath work is helpful.
To accommodate families with small children, the Recreation Center offers child care Monday through Friday mornings from 8:25 a.m. until 12:10 p.m., as well as Monday through Thursday evenings from 5 to 8 p.m.
The Parker Recreation Center is a municipal fitness facility. Daily admission rates are $4.50 for adults, $3.50 for youth 15 to 18, and $3 for seniors over 62 and children 3 to 14.
