Last weekend brought 2 inches new snow around La Veta and over 3  up at Cuchara.  This weekend the weather is clear and a balmy 72 degrees.

The Town of La Veta has approved entering into a 5 year lease with Commnet Communications, enabling the company to install six panel antennas on the Town’s water tank.  The move is expected to greatly increase cell phone service coverage in the Cuchara Valley and to also provide the Town a lease income of $750 per month.

Oak and Cottonwoods are reaching their peak in fall foliage colors.  A palette of yellow, orange and red.

A great turnout today for Oktoberfest.  Crowds were arriving early for the kick-off, brots were hot and beer was cold. Umpa bands played the polka all day long.

The County Planning has “tabled” action on the proposed 180′ ft. tower to be near the Town Lakes.  And they “approved” the proposed flat-panel antennas to be mounted on the town water tank, subject to adoption by the Town of La Veta. 

Our Oktoberfest celebration is this weekend and we expect a nice crowd and beautiful weather.  Fall foliage is about to peak and this morning I sat on the porch and listened to the bull elk bugeling.
