From new bridges to the bumps in the road, from the corporate banks to the local boutiques, from the Californians to the born and raised, we are Garfield County. <\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re in Rifle, New Castle, Glenwood, Aspen, Eagle, Gypsum or Carbondale, we are community. This valley is the biggest town with the smallest of worlds. <\/p>\n
The Roaring Fork Valley is a tight-knit family, yet has a local Facebook selling group of over 30,900 members. <\/p>\n
With everything on social media these days, I question my home town, I question the community that raised me. I do believe that Glenwood could truly be a real home town that we can all be proud of again, but watching it from a distance makes me wonder if we are going in the right direction. <\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never seen a community quite like the one we had during the Lake Christine Fire, so put aside your politics, your beliefs and your arguments. We are the heart of the community. <\/p>\n
Quit complaining about the valley, stop following the lead of big cities, government and news, because in order to rehabilitate the valley we must start with us, the people. <\/p>\n
If we focus on us instead of making the valley toxic with the rest of the world, we can make our world better.<\/p>\n
