Every year in Louisville my family and I look forward to the Fall Festival and Labor Day parade. Our eldest residents may remember these festivities beginning as a church bazaar sponsored by the Louisville Methodist women during the Depression. The Labor Day Parade began in 1942 Mayor Bob Muckle sponsored by the United Mine Workers, and from these humble beginnings it be- came the longest running Labor Day parade in Colorado. Groups of all shapes and sizes — bands, scout troops, dancers, equestrians, businesses, and labor with floats and classic car owners — all join together on Main Street to showcase their passions. It is the traditional beginning of the political season in Louisville and governors, congressmen, state representatives, and county commissioners have all marched in our celebration. As Louisville welcomes new residents and businesses, their creativ- ity and diversity will continue to shape the fall festivities for years to come. Louisville residents have a long tradition of helping neighbors during hard times. From Louisville's founding in the 1870's, churches and cultural and frater- nal groups have come together to support each other through the challenges of life in a small western town. Today, we continue to help each other face challenges... both economic and physical. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our July 4th Continued on page 2 THANK YOU FOR CONSERVING WATER! Summer is winding down, but that doesn't mean we can forget about the drought or waste water. We thank everyone for the concerted effort to conserve water this summer and ask that you please maintain your efforts. Please continue to follow these simple guidelines: water no more than three days per week; do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds; water only during cooler times of the day, do NOT water between 10 AM and 6 PM; and do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete and asphalt or so it pools or runs down gutters, streets, and alleys. Your efforts truly did help bring down our water use this summer, but it is not over yet. Another warm, dry winter could stretch the City's water resources to the point where the City will need to impose more serious drought management steps in 2013. Keep up the good work and use your water wisely. FREE irrigation audits are available.
