Vision Award for Prowers County – Small Community of the Year Award

Lisa Nolder anounced a bright spot, after a night of terror, just more than 24 hours after five tornadoes swept three counties in the southeastern corner of the state. Prowers County receives SMALL COMMUNITY OF THE YEAR AWARD from the Economic Development Council of Colorado!!!! This award is given to a small community with population of 20,000 or less for exhibiting strong economic growth, investment in economic development, successful business development projects, and community planning. This is an award that we should all be very proud to receive! As many small communities continue to experience economic decline, Prowers County has held our position as a small community leader in the state of Colorado. Congratulations to all of our government entities, businesses, and citizens. We received this award because of your vision, strength, and perseverance. Although the best of times and worst of times can often run parallel, let this award be an inspiration to all of you who call Prowers County home… Because it is a tribute to our strength and ability to persevere and shine, and make our county a great place to work, live and play… Always a pleasure to remind the citizens of our fair community that read more…

Relay For Life — Hope One Step at a Time

In loving memory of Esther Mulaney (shown here with Great Granddaughters, Elizabeth and Lychelle in May 2008).  Treasures… Those moments you hold onto for a lifetime. The moments you’re deprived of, forever, and the time stolen from you by a dreaded disease. Where’s the hope? There’s hope in the cure. One was lost, but many more can be saved, with a cure for cancer. No single moment matters more than the next, or the last, but each moment is precious. If you hold on long enough to each moment, you know the value in more than one. This grandmother was deprived of time with her great granddaughters. Her great granddaughters were deprived of time with her.
