The Castle Rock Senior Center Craft Show at the Fairgrounds this weekend has been cancelled due to weather.

Due to the inclement weather it is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Castle Rock Craft Show Extraordinaire. After 32 years of holding the event without interruption, this decision was not made lightly. The safety and well-being of our community guests, volunteers, and staff are our top priority, and we believe this is the best course of action given the current circumstances.

We are exploring alternate plans and will keep you informed as we move forward. If you have baked items for the show, please store them in the freezer for now. The craft boutique will be open at the Center by the end of next week. Please be sure to stop by and do some holiday shopping!

We know this will be a financial setback, but rest assured, we are committed to working hard to overcome these challenges and continue to provide the activities and services we are known for. We are already looking forward to next year and to bringing this special event back stronger than ever.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We truly appreciate your dedication to the Craft Show along with the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,
The Castle Rock Senior Activity Center Staff and Board

Remember to vote. Stop by Kirk Hall on the Fairgrounds; elections are open until 7 p.m. today!

You wake up and realize it’s Nov. 5 — General Election Day — and you need in-person assistance to vote before the polls close at 7 p.m. It’s good to know that there are 21 Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPC) in Douglas County open to assist you.

Please visit a VSPC if you need to register to vote, update your voter registration, replace a ballot, vote in person, or use an ADA-accessible voting machine.
