The Westcliffe Independence Day Parade/Second Amendment March had to be canceled. Received via email:
Good afternoon David, We greatly appreciate you letting your readers know about our 2A March that was planned for Saturday. However, the 4th of July Parade has been canceled because of the Aspen Acres Fire that is burning in Custer and Pueblo Counties and has grown to more than 50,000 acres. Several towns (Beulah, Rye, Wetmore) have been evacuated along with dozens of neighborhoods, with many homes and other structures already lost. I would ask for prayers for all of the first responders and everyone being affected by this and all the fires in the region, as well as our great country during these times when so many things are just upside down. Thank you and God bless you.
That’s the spirit that would have marched. That’s the spirit that confirms who is on the right side of things.
George Gramlich was known by the company he kept, and he was a pretty good judge of character.
