While I know this is not of direct genealogical value, it is historical, so I thought I would invite any of you who are in the Mead area (About 40 miles north of Denver just off of I-25 and 7 miles northeast of Longmont) to come to our 1st Annual High on Highlandlake - Hey Day fundraiser for the Historic Highlandlake Church building. The Event will be this Sat. at Highlandlake on Weld County 5 between 24 3/4 and 36 one mile west of Mead, and will include a pancake breakfast, hot-air balloon rides, miniature live-steam train rides, fishing and paddleboat contests, a poker run (Christian style), three live bands, lots of food, and sales items. All proceeds are benefiting the Highlandlake church building, the only historic registered site in the Mead area. The building, built in 1896 and which has not had a congregation since 1916, and has been used since that time as a local community center, took a direct hit with the March snowstorm and is in imminent danger of falling down unless we can raise enough funds to save the building. I have written and received two grants from the State Historical Society to have the structure assessed and to stabilize the building, but we need to apply for another $200,000.00 grant to finish the work of repairing and restoring the building. Of that $200,000, we will have to contribute a $50,000 cash match in order to receive the rest of the funds. Of that amount, we still need to raise about $35,000.00. The fundraiser, we hope will help us toward that goal. For more information, see our official website: http://www.hollyhockfarms.com/hlkchurch Pauli - Boulder & Weld Counties.
