April 19th, 2010This week’s blog is dedicated to our dedicated volunteers, the Friends of Red Mountain Park! We had a great opportunity to thank them on Friday night, so that’s exactly what we did. And they thanked one another with some great awards. It all went down at our oral history exhibit at the Lite Box Gallery–if you still haven’t checked it out, you must go soon. Last day is Saturday! (W, TH, F 12-5, Saturday 10-2)
