About Town, September 6, 2012
Here it is the beginning of September; fall is here, it is getting dark sooner, and at least the nights will be cooler. It was truly a hot summer, sixty-three days with the temperature over 90! The hottest ever! We hope to get some rain this fall, and the leaves will be turning.
Lantern-Lit Journey Through History
By Kathleen Spring
Each young camper held a lantern from the early 1900s and followed their guide through the mysteries of the Lyons Redstone Museum on the first day of the 2012 Lyons History Summer Day Camp. They first learned about how fire, then candles, lanterns, and finally electric lights changed the way of life of mankind. Then they went down the darkened hallways to discover how Lyons pioneer families lived their daily lives.Login to read more: Lantern-Lit Journey Through History

Highway Of Legends
About 205 miles from Lyons, or a three and a half hour drive, you’ll find one of the first scenic highways of Colorado, the Highway of Legends. While on the way to Santa Fe, my husband and I passed many signs, which directed travelers to this eighty-two mile, two hour scenic side trip that begins in Walsenburg and ends in Trinidad. You take Rte. 160, west toward LaVeta where the Highway of Legends actually begins at Rte. 12.

A VERY BUSY WEEK WENT BY AND WE ALL MADE IT!
A great day for Lyons to be on the USA Pro Challenge cycling race, which brought a lot of folks to town, and gave the Town a lot of good publicity! Great job Chamber members, Town staff, and all who helped! Special thanks to Chamber members Lee Hall, Laurie Kennedy, Lou Thackston and Kheli Mason. Those yellow shirts from St. Vrain Market hit the spot! I understand that Lyons’ Julian Kyer was one of the bikers.

With Dr. Sara Hart, ND, MSOM, LAc of Stillwater Healing Arts Clinic, Lyons

Before you can blink, your mind turns to Jell-O, you can’t remember the last word you said nor the poignant message you were trying to convey, your body temperature seems to be going through the roof, and you’re sweating profusely.

Santa Fe, New Mexico
Drive south on I-25 about seven hours from Lyons and you arrive in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “A City Different,” “Aspen’s sister,” “O’Keeffe Country,” the highest US capitol city at over 7200 feet, and Spanish for “holy faith.” Thirty-two years ago my husband and I visited the city for a company business conference. More recently, we traveled there to help our middle son and his family settle into a house. Santa Fe has definitely changed!
