Can anyone Help this Parker Resident out? See her letter below.
A friend of mine mentioned that he had a wedding in Parker awhile ago, and it was a free location! He said it was 180 acres of open space and they used it for their wedding, but it didn't cost a thing. Can you give me more information on what this area might be and any more helpful information about having a "free" wedding there? Thanks!

Review Pirates of the Carribean - Dead Man's Chest
I was at the opening in Parker last night..the before part and waiting in line in costume with my 17 year old daughter and 20 of her friends... was a ton of fun... and seeing everyone else come in dressed up. The movie was awesome.. a little too long, and not as many funny original lines.. they mostly used references that were favorites in the first movie to play on in the 2nd. The effects of the Davy Jones crew were Gross and Amazing.. the usual amazing Disney animation. Great fight scenes and escape scenes and of course Johnny Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow was just as good as the original. I did think it was a little long.

Trail Rangers looking for volunteers in Parker Colorado
Trail Rangers looking for volunteers
The Town of Parker is looking for 20 to 25 volunteers to join a new Trail Ranger program. Trail Rangers will patrol the community’s 75 miles of multi-use trails and be extra eyes and ears for the Town to report trail maintenance issues, safety concerns and citizen feedback. Trail Ranger volunteers will be equipped with informational materials including trail system maps, local trail-related regulations and contact information for Town personnel. Cyclists, skaters, walkers and equestrians who utilize area trails on a regular basis are invited to attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, July 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Parker Mainstreet
Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet.
“The Trail Ranger program is a way to support your community, keep the local trail system safe and promote active lifestyle choices in Parker,” says Recreation Department Communications Coordinator Amy Tartaglia Johns, “Plus, you can volunteer and get your exercise at the same time!”
The ideal Trail Ranger volunteer will already be an active trail user, be comfortable distributing trail information to fellow trail users and be enthusiastic about helping the Town improve its extensive trail system. Volunteers will patrol the trail on their own time and report trail maintenance issues, safety concerns and public feedback to the Town’s Public Works, Recreation and Police staff. Trail Rangers will be trained in basic bicycle maintenance, carry a tool kit and bike pump, learn about equestrian issues unique to Parker’s trail, and be kept up to date
about trail expansions and improvements. Rangers will carry trail maps and
other trail information for distribution to the public.
At the July informational meeting interested volunteers will learn more about the new program and can sign up as Trail Rangers. The Trail Ranger program is open to participants 16 and older, although minors must have parental permission to participate. High school community service hours are available for youth participants.
To sign up for the July 19 meeting, or for more information about the program, please call Amy at 303.805.3267 or email ajohns@ci.parker.co.us.
