Please note our policy:
Our community calendar carries listings on a space-available basis for
Tri-Lakes events that are sponsored by local governmental entities and not-for-profit organizations.
We include events that are open to the general
public and are not religious or self-promotional in nature. If space is
available, complimentary calendar listings are included, when requested, for
events advertised in the current issue.
To have your event included in Our Community Calendar: Contact John Heiser at
488-3455, P.O. Box 1742, Monument, Colorado 80132-1742, or calendar@ocn.me.
The information we need is the day (such as 3rd Wednesday each month, every
Tuesday, or whatever), the time, location (with directions if it isn't a place
most people are likely to know), and a point of contact with phone number
and/or e-mail address for those wanting more information. There is no charge
for listings in Our Community Calendar.
Upcoming Events - Our Community Calendar is subdivided into
Although we strive for accuracy in these listings, dates or times are often
changed after publication. Please double-check the time and place of any event
you wish to attend by calling the info number for that event.
The unpredictability of the COVID-19 situation presents scheduling challenges
to area governance entities and other organizations. Because OCN is a monthly
publication, readers should assume that information published in this issue is
subject to change and event information should be confirmed a day or two before
the event by calling the information number or checking the organization’s

Many entries show dates even though the event has been canceled or suspended.
The date indicates when the event was planned to be held or when it would
normally have been held.
 Items, if any, differ from what was printed in the latest issue of OCN. We apologize for any inconvenience.

to unload at once rather than the 2-3 vehicles being unloaded as in previous
years. The same type of materials will be accepted. Slash/logs up to 8
inches in diameter, pine needles, etc. As in previous years: NO construction
