On Friday, October 4, Greeley's Community Development department hosted the Sunrise Neighborhood Resource Fair, bringing together multiple city departments to showcase free and low-cost services available to residents. This collaborative event allowed the community to explore resources that contribute to a better quality of life in Greeley. One of the highlights of the event was the Dream, Play, Build Workshop, led by James Rojas and John Kamp. These two presenters stayed in Northern Colorado after the Colorado APA Conference—where Greeley’s At Home in Greeley project received an award—to host this creative, hands-on workshop for our residents. Through the use of everyday objects, color and imagination, participants created visual representations of their favorite childhood memories, then envisioned how they could shape the future of the Sunrise neighborhood. The workshop fostered community connections and innovative ideas for building a safe, healthy and thriving neighborhood for generations to come. Thank you to everyone who joined us. Events like this remind us that when we work together and share our stories, we create a stronger, more vibrant community for all. #CommunityDevelopment #Greeley #GreeleyColorado #SunriseNeighborhood #DreamPlayBuild #CommunityEngagement #PublicService #GreeleyGrowth

The City of Greeley is proud to highlight the collaborative efforts of local organizations working to connect our community with nature through storytelling and exploration. The new children's book, “My Great Adventure with Nana”, beautifully illustrated by Armando Silva, brings the magic of adventuring in the outdoors to life through a child's eyes. This project was made possible thanks to support from Trust for Public Land, Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), and our local partners at the High Plains Library District and Weld Community Foundation . Together, we’re committed to making nature more accessible and engaging for all by promoting outdoor experiences at Greeley’s natural areas. This book, available at various libraries in the region, is just one of the ways we’re encouraging families to explore the outdoors and appreciate the rich wildlife and landscapes Greeley has to offer. We are also hosting A Day of Adventure event at Greeley's newest natural area on October 5, featuring a live reading of "My Great Adventure with Nana," which was inspired by this natural area, along with a nature scavenger hunt and guided trail walks, encouraging families to experience the beauty of our local landscapes firsthand. By fostering these partnerships, we’re helping to preserve our natural spaces while inspiring the next generation to embrace the beauty and adventure that can be found right here in our community. #Greeley #GreeleyColorado #ColoradoOutdoors #GreeleyPartnerships #CommunityCollaboration #OutdoorExploration #PublicSpaces
