Illinois residents, Joanne and Richard Hansen, drove their 1957 Jaguar in this year’s Colorado Grand. The car had been fully restored 1-1/2 years ago. It had been sitting outdoors in the elements. Panels were found inside the trunk with the original paint color, and that is the Jaguar paint color seen here. Jaguar gained fame with wins in the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1951,1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957.

The 24th annual Colorado Grand made its lunch stop in Hotchkiss on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Delta County Fairgrounds. The Colorado Grand covers a 1,000-mile route which began and ended this year at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa.

This photo shows how planters could be used in place of curb extenders in providing safety for pedestrians crossing a downtown street. Hotchkiss public works director Mike Owens prefers this idea over having permanent curb extenders. The planters could be moved in the winter to allow for snow plowing.

After first suggesting curb extenders to improve safety for pedestrians crossing Bridge Street, the Town of Hotchkiss and the Downtown Improvement Committee are considering an alternative plan.

Mike Owens, public works director, suggested the town and committee consider planters as used in Crested Butte.
