Members of Telluride’s Volunteer Fire Department stand at an undisclosed location Thursday with a sampling of what lies in store for all of us — fireworks — on the Fourth of July. Mortar casings line the wall behind firefighters John Wiegand, Scott Bennett and David Wadley. The goods on display are a combination of six-, eight-, and 10-inch shells, including one three-inch ‘finale chain,’ held by First Assistant Chief Bennett at center. More than $30,000 dollars were spent on the array of more than 2,200 shells that will be lit this coming Saturday and donations are still being accepted. The antique red fire engine on main street is where an array of Telluride Volunteer Fire Dept gear can be purchased. All proceeds from sales go to support next year’s Fourth celebration — as well as to cover the cost of one four-year, $1,500 per-year college scholarship. [Photo by Merrick Chase]

Moving to Telluride nearly a year ago, how could I dare think something was missing from our own heaven on Earth? Majestic mountains? Check. Picturesque main street? Check. Quaint shops and cafes? Check. Restaurant specializing in Indian cuisine? Aha!
