One of the Main in Motion folks, the good people over at Colorado Cat House, are having “Mutts in Motion.” It’s an opportunity to bring in a pet’s photo and win a portrait by Damon Pace. (Now that I think of it, Daisy would look pretty good in portraiture.)
The drawing will be tonight. To celebrate, they’re having a Yappy Hour.
Speaking of music……
Next week, the Coffee Trader will host singer and artist Mark Pettit for the release of his new CD, ‘Between Worlds.’ Pettit has a studio and lives in Ridgway.
There will be a $25 donation asked at the garden’s gate. Twenty percent of the proceeds from Pettit’s music/artwork going to the San Juan Healthcare Foundation/San Juan Cancer Center.
The public’s encouraged to come by and enjoy the music, and meet Mark. It will be Thursday, Sept. 7, beginning at 6 p.m.
Food and wine (Southern Wine & Spirits) by Phuong, so you know it’ll be good. Info: 252-2814.
The Ackerman family of Montrose is asking that all Scouts attend the memorial service Sunday for Chris Sitton, the soldier who was killed Aug. 19 in Afghanistan. He was an Eagle Scout and was involved in Scouting in Montrose and Venture Crew 490. He was a 2003 graduate of Montrose High School.
The Ackermans ask that Scouts attend the 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 3 service at the Lloyd McMillan Memorial Gymnasium (MHS) wearing their class “A” uniform.
Tomorrow, Destination Montrose magazine will be in Friday’s Daily Press.
Good stuff, this. It’ll be freely distributed throughout Montrose as well.
(It should be subtitled: Yes, We Get to Live Here.)
The Montrose Chamber of Commerce will have its Membership Appreciation Picnic on Friday, Sept. 8, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Rotary Park on S. 12th Street.

The first Ferris wheel was designed by George W. Ferris, a bridge-builder from Pittsburgh. He built the ride for the 1893 World’s Fair, which was held in Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in America.
Fair organizers wanted something to rival the Eiffel Tower.
He’s So Fein
“A May 26 article on the Senate-passed immigration bill incorrectly identified a co-sponsor of an amendment that eliminated a section that would have made it more difficult for immigrants to avoid being deported while they are appealing asylum applications. The co-sponsor was Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wisc.), not Sen. Dianne Feinstein, (D-Calif.).
—A correction in The Washington Post
Quotable
“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”
—Ernest Hemingway, novelist
A couple was driving down a country road for several miles, the silence between them thick. An earlier discussion had sparked an argument, and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a farm full of mules, goats and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically: “Relatives of yours?”
“Yup,” the wife replied. “In-laws.”
