Montrose has gone from administering a few hundred vaccines a week, just a few weeks ago, to now administering almost 3,000 vaccines over three days. 

You can access Montrose County data here for the latest updates, and check out this article in today's Daily Press by Katharhynn Heidelberg to learn more.

The Red Mountain Pass on the U.S. 550 has reopened after closing for 24 hours due to heavy snowfall (as much as 8 feet deep on the roadway). Don't forget to check conditions before heading out to stay safe.

I recently came across “Bendición del Agua” (A Prayer for Water) by the 25-year-old Taos-based writer, farmer and water rights activist Olivia Romo. Her family has farmed corn for many generations, and relies on one of New Mexico's acequias -- community water ditches -- for irrigation. As we all know, water is a big topic of conversation in Montrose, which is probably why Ms. Romo's piece packed such a punch for me. 

Do we have any artists here who are creating original work around local community issues?
