Energizer Volunteer Day at the Park
Posted By The Friends of the Florissant Fossil Beds, Inc. on July 3, 2011
On Friday, June 24, 2011, 90 plus volunteers along with the Monument staff and members of the Friends group worked together to provide 200 hours of volunteer work on the trails at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. The Florissant Fossil Beds won a $5000.00 grant along with the holding of the event awarded by the Energizer Company based in St. Louis. In a program called Vote for Your Favorite Park, sponsored by Energizer, the Fossil Beds won over 4 other Park Service Areas. The $5000.00 will be used to bring military families up to the mountains for a weekend of fun and good times outdoors. It was a very exciting event that was kicked off by the inflation of the Energizer balloon in Colorado Springs on Thursday morning. All volunteers were given t-shirts, bandannas and pink bunny ears to wear while they were working. A good time was had by all!!!!
