You're Invited To An Art Exhibit at the Basalt Regional Library:
Landscapes by Patrick Kikut

Patrick was the lead artist on the Sesquicentennial Colorado River Exploring Expedition (SCREE): a 70-day, 1,000-mile journey, retracing John Wesley Powell’s first passage down the Colorado River, 150 years later! He was following in a centuries-old tradition of painters joining researchers on expeditions. 

Patrick's paintings and drawings on exhibition at the Basalt Regional Library are based on the exploration of the Colorado River during SCREE.

If you have never had a chance to float the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, this is a good opportunity to see what it looks like!

Paintings and drawings are for sale. View the exhibit during normal library business hours.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF ASPEN
Free Irrigation Assessment    

2023%20Aspen%20Lawn%20Assessment.jpg

The City of Aspen is supporting the community’s efficient use of water by offering free irrigation assessments to interested Aspen water customers. Our community’s shared water supply is heavily used in the summer on outdoor irrigation, yet many properties may be overwatering or not optimizing their irrigation and sprinkler systems.  

Their team of certified water efficient landscapers visit your property, perform an assessment of your entire irrigation system, including sprinkler heads to optimize settings, flag repair needs, and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements.

This free service saves water for our entire community, can lower your water bill, and help your landscape thrive by identifying the exact amount of moisture it needs.

Learn more and sign up for a free irrigation assessment
 HERE or contact Tim Karfs at (970) 920-5072 or tim.karfs@aspen.gov.
