Valley Floor Preservation Partners - News Updates and Events

Hello Valley Floor Preservationists. As most of you know the Valley Floor valuation trial starts Tuesday, February 5 in Delta County. The Town’s legal team has asked that we keep our presence to a minimum. This is not a spectator event. The judge issued a decree stating that any physical and/or verbal statements for or against either party in the courtroom will not be allowed.

There will be daily updates from the trial on both the Town’s website and at valleyfloor.org.

Last week the Town Council issued a detailed memo on the case to condemn, the valuation trial and the conservation easement. Click here for the pdf.

The Demas Family is sponsoring the Wishing Well this week. We would like to thank them as well as all of the previous Wishing Well Sponsors for their generosity. The Wishing Well is truly helping us make this happen! Thanks to all of you who have made donations as well. The Creels are next week with a $30,000 match and the Martindales follow with $20,000. Now is the time to pay your pledge or make your donation. We are accepting contributions at the VFPP office as well; and remember, if your donation is $500 or larger you can sign an escrow agreement allowing VFPP to return your contribution if for any reason the acquisition is not successfully completed.

The Valley Floor Art Show will be at the Depot on Friday, February 23. We have some beautiful pieces of art and would love more. Please contact Karen Wilcox at 728-4697 to discuss your submission or with questions. We will need volunteers. Watch for more information.

Hopefully many of you have received the “Final Step” brochure we mailed out recently. We would like to distribute them to as many people in the region as possible. If you are interested in dropping them off in your neighborhood or have a good location for people to pick them up please stop by the office and pick some up.

Both versions of the beautiful limited edition Valley Floor Pendants and Pins are still available at the Telluride Gallery. Valley Floor merchandise is still available at www.valleyfloor.org or in Telluride at Jagged Edge.

Remember – HOME STRETCH, time to MAKE IT HAPPEN!
