The Littleton Museum is seeking school group volunteers!

The museum needs volunteers to welcome visiting school groups, provide background and orientation for students and teachers, and help spark curiosity and set the stage for a great museum visit. Shifts are weekday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. Flexible scheduling available. For more information, call the Littleton Museum at 303-795-3950.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Since 1971, citizens and visitors have flocked to the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum Craft Fair to stock up on handmade goods. In the early years, the Craft Fair was held on Littleton Museum grounds, as shown in these photos from the mid-1980s. Eventually, it grew too big and was moved next door to Ketring Park. Today, the Fair boasts more than 250 booths, along with snacks and meals available from local nonprofit organizations. Proceeds from booth fees are used by the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum organization to sponsor programs at the Littleton Museum and Bemis Public Library. This year’s Craft Fair will be held on Saturday, October 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Ketring Park. Admission is free! For more information, visit littletoncraftfair.org.

🍁 It’s officially fall! That means the leaves will soon be changing and, eventually, falling. As the leaves start piling up, it can be tempting to simply blow them into the street, but this shortcut causes big problems for the community. Leaves left in the roadway can clog storm drains, causing street flooding during rain. They also break down into nutrients that feed algae growth in creeks and rivers, harming water quality and wildlife. Local ordinances prohibit placing yard waste, including leaves, into streets or gutters. Leaves should be bagged, mulched, or placed in a yard waste bin for proper disposal. Many residents also choose to mulch leaves back into their lawn or compost them for use in gardens. Another option is to bring leaves to A1 Organics in Sheridan to be turned into compost. Leaf collection is October 27 through November 14 and is $5 per visit. Proof of Littleton residency is required.
