Mayor Steve Bach’s next Spirit of the Springs rally will be devoted to honoring and thanking everyone who helped during the Waldo Canyon fire, the most destructive fire in Colorado history.
“Local firefighters, police officers, Forest Service personnel and many others will be honored at the event,” a press release states.
The free event will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. July 28 at Sand Creek Soccer Stadium, which is adjacent to Security Service Field.
“The celebration will be an opportunity to begin the healing process together, as a community,” Donna Nelson, the mayor’s economic vitality specialist, said in a statement.
Here’s more information from the press release:
The celebration will include stage performances, interactive booths, children’s activities, food and more. Attendees are encouraged to dress in their best “Colorado Spirit” attire.
Following the Rally, Sky Sox Baseball is offering a special ‘Spirit of the Springs’ ticket price for the Sky Sox vs. Fresno Grizzlies game. Individuals will receive $3 off any ticket in the Lower Box Seat or Upper Reserved Sections when they present the Spirit of the Springs flyer at the Sky Sox Box Office by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 25. Additionally, the first 2,000 fans at the game will receive a free Carlos Gonzalez bobble head. Gates open at 5 p.m.; game starts at 6:05 p.m. Free parking for the Spirit of the Springs Rally is available until 4 p.m.
It is great that he wants to honor all those who responded to help the citizens. I hope Mayor Bach remembers their daily sacrifice when he is dealing with their compensation when he looks at the next city budget. All the men and women who answered the call to duty deserve to be treated like the heros they are.
I hope Jerri is leading the parade. and Bach bring up the rear.
