Good morning! We have a small nursery hanging out in our neighborhood and from our basement windows, we got a front row seat to their frolicking (see video in comments!).

It's amazing to see the difference in size between calves that were born a couple of days ago, and a calf that was most likely born last week or the week before! These babies grow quickly!

We were honored to be invited to the Estes Valley Library's "Wall-Breaking" Ceremony last Friday! Today, June 1, their renovation kicks off -- one that's totally funded by years of prudent financial management along with amazing donations from our community. No tax increases required. Another great part about the renovation? The Library is striving to remain open through the entire process, adjusting services and programs to work around the construction and still meet the needs of patrons. So awesome!

Learn more about the renovation at estesvalleylibrary.org/renovation, read their article from the May edition of the news, issuu.com/estesparknews/docs/estes_park_news_may_15_2026/21 (or view on our website at estesparknews.com/estes_valley_spotlight/article_79a40bf2-e03f-4cb2-841c-185d1c9a37bc.html), and check the comments for a few videos of the sledgehammer swinging!
