The events will be held on Tuesday, May 16th at either 1:00-4:00 pm, or 6:00-9:00 pm at Knox Hall in New Denver. A third drop-in session will be held in Knox Hall on Wednesday May 17th from 9:30-11:30 am. Light refreshments will be served.
Residents of New Denver are reminded that outdoor burning is regulated within the Village of New Denver.
